Lease Addendum Template
R199
Create a lease addendum to amend, add, clarify, or supplement an existing lease agreement without replacing the entire lease.
A lease addendum is used to change or add terms to an existing lease, such as rent changes, extra parking, pet permission, repairs, utilities, extended occupation, additional occupants, or maintenance arrangements.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
An addendum should clearly identify the original lease, the parties, the clause being changed, the effective date, and the new agreed wording. It should also state that all other terms of the lease remain unchanged.
- South African common law of lease and contract
- Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999, for residential leases
- Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, where applicable
- Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013
Use this as a starting point only. Verify current gazetted amendments, tribunal rules, and SARS / DOL circulars that may apply to your matter.
