Document background
The Addendum To Rental Agreement is a crucial document used in Hong Kong's property market when parties need to modify an existing lease without creating an entirely new agreement. It's commonly used when circumstances require changes to the original rental terms, such as rent adjustments, lease extensions, addition of occupants, or modifications to property usage terms. This document must comply with Hong Kong's property laws, particularly the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance, and may require stamp duty consideration depending on the modifications made. The addendum serves as a legally binding amendment that should be read in conjunction with the original lease agreement, maintaining clear reference to the original terms while precisely documenting the agreed changes.
