How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Lease Modification Agreement in New Jersey

In 2026, an individual from New Jersey sought assistance with a lease modification agreement. The client was a co-applicant on a lease for a property where they had never lived, having resided out of state throughout the entire duration. After attempting to communicate with the property management company to have their name removed from the lease, the client encountered a lack of response and needed a legal professional to draft a letter requesting the removal and to safeguard their credit and rental history in case of default by the primary occupant. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $1,000, all submitted to meet the client’s deadline of less than a week.
