A name change lease amendment is a document that edits a lease to update the tenant’s legal name. Changes to a person’s legal name commonly occur following a marriage or divorce. Although a lease’s terms remain binding if a tenant changes their name, it’s considered good practice to amend the master lease to include the new name.
