Enforcing Lease Addendum

[LdiJ]

I fear you do not understand what that word means. I've had commercial leases for close to three decades. We never changed a lease just because the square footage changed. Now if the landlord wanted to take more money...

I have been involved in leasing commercial space for every company I have worked for, and for most of them, that involved increasing or decreasing space over the years and never once did it fail to require a new lease when space increased or decreased.

I will allow that sometimes there were separate leases for separate portions of the space, but never once did space increase without a new lease in one form or another.

As I stated, that is merely your experience and not true in general (you understand what "in general" means)?
Anyhow, the argument is spurious. It matters not whether the other party has a new lease or not. It only matters that the landlord has not complied with the lease with the poster in question.

A mutually agreed upon lease addendum is just as valid as, and far simpler than, executing an entirely new lease agreement.
