What Is a Crime Free Lease Addendum?

A Crime Free Lease Addendum is a supplemental document drafted by a landlord and the tenant to certify the latter will not commit crimes on the premises indicated in the lease. Whether you are signing the lease for the first time or renewing it, this legal instrument will help the property owner ensure it remains untouched by illegal activities:

Alternate Names:

• Lease Addendum for Crime-Free Drug-Free Housing;
• Crime and Drug Free Lease Addendum.

To create an effective agreement that will become an integral part of the lease, follow these steps:

1. Identify the parties and confirm they agree to consider the present document essential for the landlord-tenant relationship established in the text of the main contract they sign - the lease.
2. Confirm the tenant, the members of their household, and any temporary guests that visit the rental unit agree not to engage in any illicit activities . The responsibility to make sure there is no crime on the premises rests with the tenant.
3. List the activities not allowed on the property . Alternatively, you may indicate that illegal activities forbidden by the current legislation are not permitted. Point out the prohibition of drug-related activities in particular since this is one of the common issues.
4. Sign and date the document . If the lease is notarized, it would make sense to get a notary seal for all related addendums.
