Updating a Lease Agreement Mid Contract

[Anthony Simboli]

Hi All,

I've been a landlord now for about 6 months and so far have had a great experience. I do however have a tenant that would like to add a washer and dryer unit to their apartment. The apartment came with hookups but we said that we would not provide a washer and dryer. They have since bought there own and we are more than willing to let them use it however we would now like them to pay their portion of the hot water bill. 

My question to you all is, should I have them sign a written statement disclosing that we are now allowing them to use a washer and dryer as long as they pay their portion of the hot water bill? Also, should I include anything insurance related if something were to become damaged in the property due to the washer and dryer?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

*Side note, they have already agreed that they are more than willing to pay the extra money!

Thank you!!
