Add a tenant with a lease addendum
Prepare a tenant-addition document and review the people, dates and signing requirements.
On this page
Have the original agreement and the new person's details ready. This form offers Add a tenant; it does not remove or swap existing tenants.
Step 1: Open the existing tenancy
Open Build a lease addendum and choose the correct lease. Check People on the lease and the original agreement. Resolve an existing signature workflow before starting another document.
Step 2: Choose Add a tenant
Under What is the addendum for?, select Add a tenant. Enter Name and a valid, separate Email. Add Relationship to the tenant when relevant.
Step 3: Enter the date and amounts
Set Move-in date. Review Additional deposit and Rent change (+ or 0). Check the intended agreement with everyone involved before choosing Create addendum.
Step 4: Review and prepare signatures
On Who needs to sign?, open Preview and check each named party and email. The incoming tenant and existing named parties must be included. Check the landlord signing choice, message and any plan or payment step. Send for signature is separate from Create addendum.
Step 5: Check the completed result
Follow signature status and retain the completed document with the original agreement. Review the lease roster, portal access, charges, recurring payments and deposits separately. Do not assume the document sets up every account change.
Removing or replacing a tenant
The current addendum has no remove-or-swap workflow and no new co-signer choice. Review the appropriate agreement process for those changes. If the whole tenancy ends, use End lease after the required closeout steps.
Remove from lease in a tenant menu is a restricted setup correction. It is not a release from a signed agreement and is blocked by signing or financial history.
Original agreement and payment arrangements
Keep the original signed lease available for review. Check the actual package rather than assuming it is attached automatically.
This form adds a document. Verify the saved roster, payment settings, portal access and any required consent separately. It does not provide a departing-tenant access or Autopay process.
Check the result
- A tenant-addition document is prepared for review and the required signatures. Creating it alone does not complete the change.
FAQs
Why can I not remove a tenant here?
This form supports adding a tenant. It does not implement removal, replacement or a new co-signer. Get help with the appropriate document and record changes.
Why is the new email rejected?
Use a valid email distinct from the landlord and existing parties. Correct saved party details before preparing the document.
Can I leave a named signer out?
No. The request requires all named parties. Correct the details and prepare the right document rather than sending an incomplete request.
Why is another addendum unavailable?
Check Agreement and any addendum awaiting signatures. Complete or resolve the existing workflow before preparing another request.
Will charges or the roster update automatically?
Do not assume that. Review the recorded result and update related settings through their own supported workflows.
Does removing a record release someone from the lease?
No release should be inferred from a record change. Review the agreement, required consent and applicable requirements.
