Commercial Lease Addendum

"I need a Commercial Lease Addendum to modify the permitted use clause of our retail unit lease to allow for food service, and to increase the annual rent by 15% effective from March 1, 2025."

Document background
A Commercial Lease Addendum is essential when parties need to modify their existing lease arrangement without creating an entirely new lease agreement. This document is commonly used in England and Wales when circumstances change during a lease term, such as alterations to rent payments, modifications to the premises, or updates to maintenance responsibilities. The addendum must be drafted in compliance with the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and related legislation, ensuring all changes are legally enforceable while maintaining the integrity of the original lease agreement.
Suggested Sections

1. Parties: Details of the landlord and tenant, including registered addresses

2. Background: Reference to original lease and reason for addendum

3. Definitions: Key terms used in the addendum, including reference to original lease definitions

4. Amendments: Specific changes being made to the original lease

5. Confirmation: Statement that all other lease terms remain unchanged

6. Execution: Signature blocks and execution formalities

Optional Sections

1. Effective Date: Used when amendments need to take effect on a specific date different from execution date

2. Consideration: Used when payment is being made for the changes to specify payment details

3. Landlord's Consent: Used when property is subject to a superior lease requiring additional consent

Suggested Schedules

1. Original Lease: Copy of the lease being amended

2. Plans: Updated plans if premises are being altered

3. Superior Landlord's Consent: Written consent from superior landlord if required

4. Board Resolutions: Company resolutions authorizing the variation if required
