    Default Re: Is a Lease Valid if Ll Changes It After Signing

    Thank you. I do not want to void the lease. I just want to be sure that the original agreement is enforceable and the additions are not. They added 3 clauses:
    1) No smoking - Not an issue
    2) No pets - Not an issue
    3) No visitors staying longer than 24 hours - MAJOR issue!

    My adult children live in other countries and I generally see them from 1 to 3 times per year. Their visits to me last from 3 days to 1 week. The clause states that I will have to move if I have any visitors staying beyond 24 hours.

    I am a single, older person. I am quiet, pay my rent on time or ahead of time and work 50+ hours per week so I am home mainly only to eat and sleep etc. I do not understand why the LL wants to be so difficult. One of my children is coming from Germany to spend Christmas week with me. I informed the LL of the visit and was told that according to the additions, if my son stays more than 24 hours I will have to move. I want to spend time with my children and I can't afford to move. I was so upset when he said this I told him, fine, take me to court.

    If the lease has a fixed term, the terms cannot be unilaterally modified until the end of the term. If it's a month-to-month rental agreement, provisions can be added or amended upon proper notice, normally one full rental period's notice (although the timing can vary a bit based on state law).

    It is a one year lease. I just moved in 6 weeks ago and do not plan on renewing the lease when it is up.
