About this lease extension agreement
Extend an existing lease’s end date and make every agreed change explicit, preserving a clear relationship to the original agreement.
When to use it
- Use when the same parties are continuing the tenancy and the original lease remains the foundation.
- Use a replacement lease or assignment when changing parties, premises, or the agreement’s basic structure requires a fuller document.
What to gather before completing it
- Collect the original lease, amendments, existing end date, proposed new term, and signing authority.
- List each changed rent, charge, responsibility, or renewal option and check any prerequisite notice.
- Review updated disclosures, rent regulation, program rules, and the treatment of existing deposits or advance rent.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Changing the end date while leaving inconsistent renewal or holdover language elsewhere.
- Treating a signed extension as a cure for an otherwise unlawful rent increase or missing disclosure.
- Overlooking tenant signatures or the consent of a guarantor whose obligations are being changed.
After you complete the document
- Keep the executed extension attached to the original lease and all earlier addenda.
- Update the payment schedule and documented end date.
- Deliver refreshed attachments and preserve the record of any required notice or acknowledgment.
