Amending Existing Tenancies Clause Samples
The "Amending Existing Tenancies" clause outlines the process and conditions under which the terms of an ongoing tenancy agreement can be modified. Typically, this clause specifies that any changes to the lease—such as adjustments to rent, duration, or permitted uses—must be agreed upon in writing by both landlord and tenant. For example, if the parties wish to extend the lease term or alter maintenance responsibilities, this clause governs how such amendments are formalized. Its core function is to ensure that any modifications to the original tenancy are clearly documented and mutually agreed, thereby preventing disputes and maintaining legal clarity.
Amending Existing Tenancies. Where the request to amend a tenancy is agreed by all parties (existing tenants, applicants and the Council/RSL) as stated in the Policy document a new tenancy may be allocated and the existing tenancy terminated. Tenants may be asked to sign an agreement with regard to any issues relating to the existing (previous) tenancy e.g. Rent arrears. Tenants and applicants should contact their local area housing office regarding the current procedure and guidance.
Amending Existing Tenancies. Current tenants may wish to add / remove a name/s to an existing sole / joint tenancy. Such requests will be considered in accordance with the appropriate current guidance. Where this request is agreed by all parties, but current legislation does not allow for a transfer, assignment or succession to the tenancy, a new tenancy must be allocated and the existing tenancy terminated.
