Residential Lease Agreement
California
Amendments in a residential lease agreement?
I recently entered into a residential lease agreement and have recently been asked to make some amendments to the agreement. These amendments are not clear to me and I would like to understand the implications and legalities of the changes before I sign the new agreement.
Myrna L.
First, you do not have to agree with your landlord to change your lease agreement. Second, know why your landlord wants to change your lease agreement. Third, what rights/benefits do you give up if you agree with your landlord to change your lease agreement.

Addendum to Lease
California
Can an addendum to a lease be used to modify the terms of a lease agreement?
I am currently renting a commercial space for my business, and I recently received an addendum to the lease agreement from my landlord. The addendum contains several changes to the original lease terms, including an increase in rent and modifications to the maintenance responsibilities. I am unsure if the landlord has the legal right to make these changes through an addendum, and I would like to understand the validity and enforceability of this document.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry about this situation! To modify a contract legally, the following requirements must be met: 1. All parties to the contract must agree to the modification. This means that both parties must sign and date the amendment to the contract. 2. The parties to the contract need new consideration -- something of legal value -- to modify a contract. For example, if a party wants more money for something they would need to provide additional performance in exchange. 3. A writing is not required for a modification, but recommended. In your case, you said that you received the addendum to the lease agreement and it contains changes to the original terms, including an increase in rent. An increase in rent would be a change to a material term, requiring you to pay more. Because you would be required to pay more, your landlord would have to offer something in exchange for this to be binding. This means that unless the lease was up for renewal, the modification would be invalid. Thanks again and good luck!

Notice to Vacate
California
Can my landlord evict me if I have been unable to pay rent due to financial hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic?
I am currently facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in a significant reduction in my income. As a result, I have been unable to pay my rent for the past few months. I recently received an eviction notice from my landlord, and I am unsure of my rights and options in this situation. Can my landlord legally evict me during this time, considering the circumstances?
Benjamin G.
Good morning, Your landlord cannot evict you. They can, however, provide you with a notice to vacate, Which presumably is what they have given. At the conclusion of the . Assigned for the notice, There may be a summons for eviction and a court date assigned. At that point, you will then go to court and be able to explain your circumstances and only the court can grant you an extension or evict you. If the court chooses to evict you, they will give you a 36 to 48 hour time Period to vacate. However, the court will consider all of your circumstances, and I would urge you to present your medical condition as one of your mitigating factors.

Rental Agreement
North Carolina
How to draft a fair rental agreement?
I recently moved to a new city and am looking to rent an apartment. I am unfamiliar with the laws and regulations around rental agreements in this area, and I want to make sure that I create a fair and legally binding agreement with my potential landlord. I want to make sure that both my rights and those of my landlord are protected.
N'kia N.
North Carolina General Statute 42 contains the North Carolina Residential Rental Act i.e. the landlord-tenant law. Generally, North Carolina landlord-tenant law requires that (1) a residential landlord keeps the property fit and habitable and (2) a residential tenant keeps the property safe and sanitary, pays the rental fee at the time and in the amount agreed upon, and follows (valid) agreed-upon rules. It also addresses other important issues like security deposit, late fee, required notice, termination, and eviction. One important aspect of the statute is that it does not allow a residential landlord to avoid or disclaim certain responsibilities simply by having a tenant agree in a rental agreement. Another important aspect of the statute is that it allows a residential tenant to recover money from a landlord who engages in certain particularly egregious conduct. It is important for a future residential tenant to know each party's rights and responsibilities before entering into a residential rental agreement. If you are considering signing a North Carolina residential lease, you are entitled to have an attorney review it and advise you before you sign.
