Addendum Number One To Lease Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

According to international law, as well as Soviet and Russian Federation treaties and agreements, all objective evidence supports the truth that Crimea was legally part of Ukraine. Russia’s actions were a clear, indisputable violation of international law and bilateral agreements freely entered into by the Russian Federation. Even Vladimir Putin acknowledged this through most of his time as president/prime minister, or whatever title he is currently giving to his rule as Tsar of Russia.Russia can chose to violate agreements, but they can’t make those agreements simply disappear like some Russian critic of the government.In illegally annexing Ukrainian Crimea Putin violated Russian and Soviet international treaties, as well as agreements with Ukraine. Annexing Crimea was a violation of 80 different international agreements and 407 bilateral agreements with Ukraine, all of which Russia entered into voluntarily. The number of violations are too numerous to list here, but let’s just look at a representative sample.Both Soviet Russia and Ukraine are founding signatories of the United Nations Charter. Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits threats or use of force against another state.After the Russian annexation, the U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution affirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity and calling the referendum that led to Russia’s annexation of its Crimean Peninsula illegal. One hundred nations supported the resolution. Only 11 opposed it.This isn’t a minor technicality involving some convoluted legal agreement. Russia’s annexation is a violation of the fundamental cornerstone of international law.It also violated Soviet and Russian law. In 1954 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet legally transferred Crimea to Ukraine. That Crimea was Ukrainian was a recognized fact in the Soviet Union for 37 years, and by the Russian Federation for 23 years.For 60 years the leadership in the Kremlin, including Vladimir Putin, acknowledged Ukrainian Crimea. They could have easily taken Crimea at any time over those six decades but did not.Finally, the illegal annexation violated bilateral agreements between Ukraine and Russia. After the dissolution of the U.S.S.R. the two countries signed the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation; the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances; the Agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the Status and Conditions of Presence of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in the Territory of Ukraine; as well as of the Agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Russian Federation on the Use of Airspace of Ukraine and of Airspace Over the Black Sea, and many more bilateral agreements.All these agreements, freely entered into by Russia, affirmed that Crimea is Ukrainian.From the Budapest memorandum, signed by Russia in 1994:1. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.2. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.The Budapest Memorandum is only one of the many treaties with Ukraine which Russia has broken by illegally annexing the Crimean peninsula and occupying part of Ukraine’s Donbass region. In 1997 both countries signed the Russia-Ukraine Friendship Treaty. At the signing ceremony in Kyiv the Russian president said, “I vow at this sacred place, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, that the treaty that we sign today will be fulfilled…We respect and honor the territorial integrity of Ukraine.”Russia entered into agreements with Ukraine, presumably in good faith, which acknowledged Crimea was Ukrainian.Russia freely signed the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership with Ukraine in May 1997, in which Russia recognized Ukraine's borders and sovereignty over Crimea.Russia signed three other treaties with Ukraine regarding Crimea on May 28, 1997 (The agreement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on the Parameters of the Division of the Black Sea Fleet, the agreement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on the Status and Conditions of the Presence of the Russian Federation Black Sea Fleet on the territory of Ukraine and agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of Ukraine on Payments Associated with the Division of the Black Sea Fleet and Its Presence on the territory of Ukraine) in which Russia agreed to "respect the sovereignty of Ukraine, honor its legislation and preclude interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine"?Russia freely signed the Agreement between Ukraine and Russia on the Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine, widely referred to as the Kharkiv Pact, in which Russia agreed to lease naval facilities in Crimea from Ukraine until 2042? Why would Russia need to lease facilities in Crimea from Ukraine if they believed Crimea was Russian?Crimea was a part of Ukraine when all those agreements were signed. Nowhere did Russia ask for an addendum or wording in the many treaties and agreements it signed saying, “except Crimea.”Russian apologists CAN NOT DENY Russia signed these agreements. When Russia took Crimea by force, the Russian Duma even went through the formality of unilaterally nullifying Russia’s agreements and obligations.There is no legal justification for Putin’s actions, which is why the forced annexation of Ukrainian Crimea has been nearly universally condemned by the civilized world.Russia wanted Crimea, so they took. At least acknowledge what the entire rest of the world knows.

What is the difference between a contract amendment and a contract addendum?AmendmentAn amendment changes a law, contract, or even a constitution. It is a legal, formal and official document “amending” the original one. Amendments can add, remove, or update parts of a contract, whose unmodified sections remain valid. To an amendment to be enforced and become part of the whole document, contract, or law it must be agreed by all parties involved.AddendumAn addendum is an additional support document that is part of the main, generally is used to supply additional terms to standardized agreements, e.g. a drawing attached to a lease agreement, showing where the garage is and its number. The term addendum is the plural, being the singular adenda.Feel free to add more questions. For more on blockchain and economics follow me on LinkedIn, or visit my website.

In general, “No”. A tenant can’t have tenants.Check your lease to see if it forbids subletting. Leases commonly DO include that provision. If not, the the state property code itself may forbid it except by agreement of the parties to the lease.And above all, check with your landlord.Even if it’s legal on all levels, so you can force your landlord into it, you don’t want to get on bad terms with a landlord.Nobody is the perfect tenant all the time, and even if he can’t evict you over subletting, a landlord who wants you gone can usually find a way. It’s like getting crossed up with an employer… time to start shopping for jobs, because eventually he’ll find an excuse to unload you.Being evicted will damage you, long-term, as a result of having a judgment against you for several years.The more people you have living in a property, the more “Normal Wear & Tear” occurs, even if it’s not a “Utilities Paid” situation, aside from possible problems on insurance claims.That’s why when you add “additional occupants” on the lease, or have additional tenants signing it, the rent is raised or the security deposit is higher, or both. You might not realize it, but it’s cost is added in there, just like “Free soft drink refills” at some restaurants.If you need to do this to be able to keep paying the rent, the landlord may offer to let you out of your lease, or he may allow roommates to be added.This allows the landlord to get a rental application done on them, for a tenant screening report, just as he originally did on you, then sign a lease addendum actually adding a co-tenant to the lease.Among many other things, the landlord will want to know that he isn’t renting to someone who has a history of drug dealing or child molesting, assaults, etc.The number one rule, I’ll repeat, though, is that if your landlord doesn’t want you to do it, do NOT do it against his will.
