Document background
An Addendum To Rental Agreement is a crucial document used in the United Arab Emirates when parties need to modify an existing lease without creating an entirely new agreement. This document type is commonly required when circumstances change during a lease term, such as rent adjustments, lease extensions, property modifications, or changes to other significant terms. It must comply with UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 and specific emirate-level regulations, such as Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 or Abu Dhabi Law No. 20 of 2006, depending on the property's location. The addendum must be properly executed and, in many cases, registered with relevant authorities to ensure enforceability. It's particularly important in both commercial and residential contexts, where flexibility in lease terms may be needed while maintaining the legal framework of the original agreement.
