This will help you
A lease addendum is a section of the rental lease agreement that goes into detail about a certain, specialized aspect relating to the tenancy. It is considered part of the lease agreement and is a binding contract when signed by both parties. It’s common to have a lease addendum on topics like pet care, installing satellite dishes and keeping fresh batteries in smoke detectors.
A lease addendum for a furnished apartment focuses on the rules you’ve established when it comes to the care and treatment of the furniture you are supplying.
Your lease agreement probably covers all the standard topics, but may not get too specific when it comes to caring for the furniture. A furnished apartment addendum is a good idea because it can document what furniture is included, the condition of the furniture and assigns responsibility to the tenant for damaged or missing items.
A furniture lease addendum generally lists all the pieces of furniture in the rental property when the tenant takes possession. You may include a short description of the condition if necessary. For example, if you have included a sofa with a small hole in the armrest, you and the tenant could note that in the furniture lease addendum so the tenant is not charged for that as damage down the road.
Remember that as a landlord, you want your property to look and feel like a nice place to live. If you provide ratty, secondhand furniture, your tenant won’t have much pride of ownership and is less likely to take good care of it. If you provide modest, clean and stylish furniture, your tenant will be more vigilant in ensuring that it stays clean and neat.
