A Condominium Addendum clarifies how condominium association rules interact with a tenant's lease, reduces disputes by documenting responsibilities, and helps landlords enforce association standards. It protects both parties by specifying fee allocation, maintenance duties, and compliance expectations tied to the condo's governing documents.
Typical users include landlords, property managers, condominium associations, and tenants who need to align lease terms with association rules.
Reference the association's governing documents and include any required disclosure text. State that tenants and landlords must comply with bylaws, rules, and regulations, and describe remedies for violations, including fines or remedial work.
Specify payment responsibility for regular assessments, special assessments, utility charges, and association fines. Include timing, acceptable payment methods, consequences for nonpayment, and whether the landlord may pass fees to the tenant.
Detail which party handles routine cleaning, appliance repairs, cosmetic maintenance, and structural repairs. Stipulate response times for repairs, reporting procedures, and who hires contractors or pays emergency repair costs.
State required insurance coverage for tenant liability and landlord property, including limits and certificates to be provided to the association. Note whether tenant's renter's insurance is mandatory and proof acceptance process.
Document permitted uses, occupancy limits, business use prohibitions, subletting rules, and guest policies. Cross-reference association rules for short-term rentals or commercial activity to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
Include informal escalation steps, requirements to notify the association, and whether mediation or arbitration is required before litigation. Define governing law and venue to reduce ambiguity in enforcement.
