Please show me how to reword a room rental agreement. I need help asap.?

The problem is that your English is terrible, so this 'agreement' makes no sense.

It's just so difficult to understand the point of this whole garbled mess.

Without knowing what the past rental agreement states, it's impossible for us to help you "void" it. You certainly can't do it without the agreement of the tenant unless the terms have been grievously broken or it has expired.

I *think* you are trying to say that the previous contract required a $200 deposit, which the tenant failed to pay. You are trying to get a new contract that states that the $200 is waived, and in return, the old agreement is void.

What you say in the agreement depends on what you are trying to change. If you are just trying to forgive the $200, then you just add an amendment.

"Landlord (John Smith) agrees to waive the $200 security deposit for tenant (Jackie Tyler). All other clauses and provisions of the original rental agreement dated December 22, 2014 remain intact."

If you are trying to cancel the entire rental agreement and start over, you need something different.

"Tenant (Jackie Tyler) and Landlord (John Smith) agree to cancel the rental agreement of December 22, 2014, in full, with no penalties to either party. The $200 security deposit was never paid, therefore, is not due as a refund."

You would then sign a new rental contract with whatever amendments you wish.

What a mess. I'm not even sure what you're trying to accomplish. Besides, you're not trying to reword a room rental agreement. That apparently was signed December 22. You can't reword a signed agreement.

Tip: In situations like this, just write in ordinary English. You're not a lawyer, you don't know lawyer jargon, and you're just getting all tripped up and confused.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice. For that, you need a lawyer. However . . .

It sounds as if you're trying to say the December 22 agreement is void because the tenant didn't pay the $200 deposit. If so, are you trying to collect the $200 from him? Or are you tossing him out because he hasn't paid and therefore the tenant hasn't complied with the written agreement? Or are you letting him stay without paying?

Just keep it simple. If it's a notice, write:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The room rental agreement signed on December 22, 2014 by [landlord's namename], landlord, and by [tenant's name] tenant is void because [tenant's name] failed to pay the required $200 security and cleaning deposit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're amending the agreement to say that the tenant can rent without paying the security deposit, use the following language:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Landlord, [landlord's name], hereby amends the room rental agreement signed by [landlord's name] and by [tenant's name], tenant, on December 22, 2014, to remove the requirement for payment of a $200 security and cleaning deposit. All other provisions of the December 22, 2014, agreement remain in force.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With this language, both you and the tenant should sign.

Do you mean the receipt for payment or the rental agreement that lists the terms of the rental? If it's a receipt, you can tell him you made a mistake so he still owes $x and why. If it's the rental agreement and both you and the tenant signed it, you are stuck with those conditions for the duration of the lease period. However, if it's month to month, you can give 30 days notice of the changes you want. The tenant then can move or agree and staay.

does he have a copy of this, or is yours the only one that has been signed

if he doesn't have a copy you should be able to write an agreement that reflects what actually happened, was the security deposit made or not, and what monies were received and how are they applied

is any of this money refundable, what are the terms of tenancy, what about notification of vacating, you need to indicate the number of days needed for notification that he is leaving etc

Why would he sign this changed agreement?

You are the one that messed up. There is a negative benefit to him to sign the new agreement, even though it really is accurate.

oops for you
