How to Customize Your Master Lease with Contract Addendums
Once your Master Lease with Option to Purchase has been drafted, it’s time to customize the agreement to protect both parties and address real-world scenarios that may not have been covered in the initial draft. This video walks you through the next step: using addendums.
A signed addendum is a powerful legal tool. It supersedes any conflicting clauses in your original contract, without requiring a complete rewrite. Addendums are often used to clarify, expand, or change the terms of a lease — all without invalidating the original agreement.
Why Use an Addendum?
Creating a brand-new contract is expensive, time-consuming, and unnecessary in most cases. That’s where addendums shine.
You can use an addendum to:
- Add new payment terms
- Clarify maintenance responsibilities
- Update timelines or renewal clauses
- Outline seller contributions or repair limits
There’s no single official format for an addendum — any clearly labeled and signed document attached to the original contract can serve as one. Just make sure it matches the style, font, and legal tone of your lease and that both parties sign.
It’s smart, simple, and legally sound.
