Rider to Lease Agreement
This rider records a landlord’s and original tenants’ designation for vacancy decontrol purposes in a residential apartment with multiple tenants.

The landlord and original tenants sign the designation, and the landlord files a copy with the Rent Leveling Office within 30 days of the tenancy’s commencement.
