Free All-States Parking Addendum
Parking Addendum — Adds parking terms to an existing lease: assigned space, fees, vehicle restrictions, towing policy, and use rules.
A parking addendum modifies an existing lease to add parking terms and rules. It typically covers: assigned space number, parking fee (if any), vehicle registration requirements, restrictions (commercial vehicles, RVs, oversized vehicles), guest parking, repair work prohibitions, and towing policy for unauthorized vehicles. The addendum is binding on the tenant and landlord and should be signed by both. Where parking is included in rent, the addendum still serves to document the assigned space and rules.
