Aside from the exceptions listed in [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_02078_01#section14 section 14(3)] of the ''RTA'', the terms of a tenancy agreement can only be changed by mutual consent. If you and your landlord both agree to a change, feel free to amend your existing agreement. For example, you can cross out a term, enter a new one, add the date, and both initial the change. Alternatively, you can sign an addendum on a separate sheet of paper that outlines the agreed upon change. Either way, make sure that you receive a copy of the revised tenancy agreement or addendum. See [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_02078_01#section14 section 14] of the ''Residential Tenancy Act'' for more information. | Aside from the exceptions listed in [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_02078_01#section14 section 14(3)] of the ''RTA'', the terms of a tenancy agreement can only be changed by mutual consent.
