Change New lease date

[Sami Gren]

Hi, 

I have a section 8-tenant In New Jersey and the lease anniversary date was Nov. 1, I made him sign already my renewal document for Nov 1 In addition to the official section 8 document, 

however when i sent it in to section 8  they have told me that since last year he qualified for a rent increse begining Feb 1 they have changed the date of the aanniversary to Feb 1.

my question is since the original lease in my renewals were dated for Nov 1 and  my lease  probably needs to be  on same date, how should I go about changing my personal lease. 

Do I need to make him sign a full new lease with the new date?

@Sami Gren I would probably just do a lease amendment once you have the new amount for February. In the amendment, I’d include the new rent amount and new lease dates (I’d use the February dates since that’s when the Section 8 renews.

I’d call and discuss it with the tenant before sending of course.
