How To Get an Addendum to a Lease as a Tenant
I'm a tenant with a Case & Associates Property looking to get an addendum made to a lease agreement, specifically about a possible error with the lease term that was signed on. Is this something that can be done between a tenant and property manager? Do I need a tenant lawyer involved? Honestly any help with how to proceed on this is greatly appreciated. The error is that I had wanted to sign on for three months, but got put on for fourth months instead. I believe an addendum could correct this, but am not sure.
Sarah S.
You're basically asking for free legal advice because you're not asking for a drafted document but I'll bite because no local lawyer will have a remedy for this anyway. The LL tenant laws for Oklahoma are found in Title 41 of the Oklahoma Statutes. They are very loose. Your proposal could be done, but the PM would have to agree to it. Typically when contracts are altered, there must be a new form of consideration in exchange for the alteration/addendum (unless you're being put on federal military orders which can break any lease.) If you're not going to offer them something of value (i.e. more money, guaranteed professional cleaning of the apt, etc.) they will not have a reason to sign it. If the language of the lease clearly stated 4 months and you signed it anyway, that is on you and you're out of luck. "I wanted to sign on for 3 months but got put on for 4 months instead." Who signed your name without your consent? Were you fraudulently coerced into signing for 1 more month....It sounds like you signed for 4 hoping you could get them down to 3 later...

Residential Lease Agreement

What is a residential lease agreement?
I am looking to move to a new apartment and need to know the details of a residential lease agreement. I am familiar with the basics of a lease, but want to make sure I understand all the details of what I am signing. I am also interested in understanding what my rights and responsibilities are as a tenant.
N'kia N.
A residential lease agreement is sometimes referred to as a "residential rental agreement," a "rental agreement," a "residential lease," a "lease agreement," or simply a "lease." It is a legal contract between a landlord and a tenant that details the terms and conditions of the tenancy, including the rights and responsibilities of each party. Every U.S. state has laws regarding the rights and responsibilities of residential landlords and tenants. For example, North Carolina's "Residential Rental Agreement Act" can be found in Chapter 42 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Generally, a residential tenant has the right to possess (or occupy) the property, the right to quiet (or peaceful) enjoyment of the property, and the right to the property being fit and habitable. In exchange, a residential tenant is responsible for paying a rental fee (in full and when due), not damaging the property, and keeping the property safe and sanitary. However, a residential lease agreement may grant additional rights to and/or impose additional responsibilities upon a tenant, so long as neither conflict with the law. For example, a landlord might provide a tenant access to a business center, a clubhouse, or an exercise room but might charge a fee for said access. For another example, one landlord may prohibit pets, one may allow pets but charge no fee, and another may allow pets and charge a fee. Last, not everything stated in a residential lease agreement is necessarily enforceable. Having an attorney review a lease before signing it can help clarify the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and the tenant, which can also help avoid confusion and conflict later on.

It is unclear what your exact question is. Unless illegal or unconconscionable, anything can be agreed to in a contract. Enforcing the agreement may require litigation. If you are asking if the clause is a valid one, it could be. If you are asking what to do if the landlord did not honor it, you may need to sue. If you are asking if this is standard and was not in the contract, the answer is no. You cannot assume it is. Hope this helps some. Contact me if you would like a consultation specifically on this issue.

Residential lease agreement for short-term rentals?
I am a homeowner in the state of California who is considering renting out my house on a short-term basis. I am interested in understanding the legal implications of such an arrangement, particularly in regards to the lease agreement that would need to be drafted. I would like to know what provisions I should include in the lease agreement to protect my interests and ensure that I am compliant with the law.
Merry A.
I think you need to post this as a CA question, not as a WA question. However, your first step is checking government and HOA rules, if any and make sure that this is allowed. You will need to change your insurance and possibly add another policy specifically for short term rentals. Let me know if I can ever be of help with WA State legal questions!

Residential lease agreement for furnished units?
I recently moved into a furnished unit and signed a residential lease agreement. However, I am unsure if the agreement I signed covers any damage done to the furniture. I want to make sure that I am protected in the event of any damage to the furniture and that I am not liable for any repair or replacement costs.
Rosemary L.
It is common in a residential leases which is furnished that the tenant is responsible for any damage to furnishings. You might want to check if this clause is in the agreement, or whether there is a provision that states that included in the cost of the tenancy is insurance to reimburse the landlord (but payable by the tenant) for any losses to such personal property. If damages are the responsibility of the tenant, you might wish to discuss with the landlord whether you could replace any claim for damages with an insurance policy that would cover such losses.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
