Lease Renewal Question/Prince Georges County Maryland

[Eric Villafana]

Good morning,

My PG county Maryland tenants want to renew their lease for two years (YAY!). The original lease states that upon renewal, that rents will increase by 2%.

Do we need to draft an entirely new lease agreement upon the renewal, or can we define the new terms using an addendum to the original lease ?

Logic tells me that we can do an addendum, however, sometimes laws defy logic.

If an addendum, does anyone have a template that they'd like to share?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
