What is a lease rider?
A lease rider is a separate agreement that rides along with the lease. A well-drafted lease will contain a pre-printed standard-form lease together with a lease rider agreement. The pre-printed standard-form lease sets forth all the terms of a general lease agreement. The rider contains terms that are specific to that landlord and/or that property. Most lease riders state that it supersedes the lease, so if there is a conflict between the terms of the rider and the terms of the standard-form lease, the rider will usually control.
