what a lease addendum actually says
A landlord sends this partway through a lease, when something has changed: a new occupant, a dog, a parking space, a different rent.
It is 2 pages, it is binding, and it quietly leaves the whole original lease in force behind it.
Cascade Ridge Property Management LLC (the Landlord) and Naomi Ferreira (the Tenant) are amending their existing residential lease.
The lease covers 4210 North Larkin Avenue, Apartment 3B, Boise, Idaho 83702.
The addendum takes effect September 1, 2026, and the underlying lease runs through February 28, 2027.
Daniel Okonjo is added as an occupant only.
Naomi Ferreira remains solely responsible for rent and all damage caused by any occupant or guest.
Naomi Ferreira may keep 1 specific dog (Juniper) subject to leashing, waste-removal, and balcony rules.
No other animal is permitted without written consent.
A refundable pet deposit of $350 is due by September 1, 2026.
The pet deposit is held with the existing security deposit of $1,650.
Pet rent of $35 per month is due with rent on the 1st of each month.
Monthly rent increases to $1,735 from October 1, 2026.
Rent is late after the 5th of the month, and the late fee is $50.
The total monthly amount due is $1,830, including pet rent and parking.
A parking space is assigned for $60 per month.
The Landlord may reassign the parking space with 30 days written notice.
Naomi Ferreira must maintain renters insurance with at least $100,000 of liability coverage, naming the Landlord as an interested party.
Pet damage beyond normal wear is charged to Naomi Ferreira.
The addendum is governed by the laws of the State of Idaho.

ADDENDUM TO RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT
This Addendum is made on August 24, 2026 between Cascade Ridge Property
Management LLC, an Idaho limited liability company (the "Landlord"), and
Naomi Ferreira (the "Tenant").
The Landlord and the Tenant signed a Residential Lease Agreement dated
March 1, 2026 (the "Lease") for the premises at 4210 North Larkin Avenue,
Apartment 3B, Boise, Idaho 83702. The Lease runs 12 months and ends
February 28, 2027. This Addendum amends the Lease as set out below.
1. Effective date
This Addendum takes effect September 1, 2026. Until that date the Lease
applies as written.
2. Additional occupant
Daniel Okonjo is added as an occupant of the premises from September 1,
2026. He is not a tenant under the Lease, has no right to renew it, and may
not assign or sublet. He must complete the Landlord's occupant application
and pass the same screening the Tenant passed. The Tenant remains solely
responsible for the rent and for any damage caused by an occupant or guest.
The occupancy limit for the premises is now 2 adults.
3. Pet
The Tenant may keep 1 dog at the premises: a female Labrador mix named
Juniper, 4 years old, 42 pounds, licensed with the City of Boise as licence
number 20260714. No other animal may be kept, and Juniper may not be
replaced without the Landlord's written consent. The dog must be leashed in
all common areas, may not be left alone on the balcony, and its waste must
be removed from the grounds the same day.
4. Pet deposit and pet rent
The Tenant will pay a refundable pet deposit of $350 on or before
September 1, 2026. It is held with the existing security deposit of $1,650
and returned on the same terms. The Tenant will also pay pet rent of $35 per
month, due with the rent on the first of each month. Pet damage beyond
normal wear is charged to the Tenant, and the pet deposit does not cap that
liability.
5. Rent adjustment
Monthly rent increases from $1,650 to $1,735, starting with the rent due
October 1, 2026. With pet rent and parking, the total monthly amount due is
$1,830. Rent is late after the 5th of the month, and the Lease's late fee of
$50 is unchanged.
6. Parking
The Landlord assigns the Tenant parking space number 14 in the rear lot from
September 1, 2026, for $60 per month. The space is for 1 operable,
registered vehicle. Repairs, storage and vehicle washing in the lot are not
permitted. The Landlord may reassign the space with 30 days written notice.
7. Renters insurance
The Tenant will keep renters insurance with at least $100,000 of liability
coverage, naming the Landlord as an interested party, and will give the
Landlord proof of coverage within 10 days of the effective date above.
8. Utilities
Water, sewer and trash remain included in the rent. Electricity and internet
remain the Tenant's responsibility. Nothing in this Addendum changes how any
utility is billed.
9. The rest of the Lease is unchanged
Every other term of the Lease stays in force, including its term, its
renewal terms, and its rules on notice, entry, and repairs. If this Addendum
and the Lease conflict, this Addendum controls. This Addendum may be amended
only in writing signed by the Landlord and the Tenant, and is governed by
the laws of the State of Idaho.
