This includes things like expectations regarding trash & treatment of the property, how to call in a maintenance request, what happens with noise complaints, and the consequences of breaking the lease.Another thing you should do is include language in your lease that allows you to amend the current lease so that if you run into a certain situation you can always inform the tenant of the new policy and enforce the rules going forward. 

In both cases, on the NC Secretary of State Website, it showed the same company start date, with just a merger or amendment notation and I never lost favor with creditors due to the change.J.T.

If the landlord is changing for your rental (it's no longer the LLC, it's you personally), then you might consider an amendment or update to the lease reflecting that.Jenna ZebrowskiThe Law Office of Jenna Zebrowski, PLLC"Investor-Focused, Series LLC Friendly, Commercial Real Estate Savvy"

There are things like taxes that are prorated and if you are getting a loan the daily charge of the mortgage will be changed based on the date the sale closes.AND you will learn the lesson twice 'if it is not in writing, on the correct form, and fully executed/signed it is not part of the deal" if you do not make sure that you have the correct amendment form filled out and signed by you and the seller about the $100 a day extra for closing. 

I know as a broker I would be amendable to that for a good long standing client

My first thought is that it would be the easiest to amend the lease end-date...? 

We'll be amending that shortly.Rent increases on the poor?

I would ask to see the LLC OPAG, see the LLC formation paperwork, any amendments made, ask for a report on any insurance claims they have had, and any documents related to any litigation they have been involved in, any suits filed against them (pursued or dismissed), and overall just any legal communications.

I'll bet tomorrow morning you'll have an amended one and there goes your argument.

It's important you let them know your expectations for this situation and if that requires a contract amendment, then create one.
