Should a lease letter state that it supersedes the lease itself?
<p>I am signing a lease where there are various changes that are required to it, the landlord refuses to change the lease but instead has issued a latter with the changes on it. The letter make no mention that it supersedes the lease in any way and also states "This agreement does not constitute a variation of the terms of the Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the terms of this agreement."</p>

<p>Doesn't that mean whatever is in the letter means nothing?</p>

<p>Ultimately, under those facts and circumstances, the letter should constitute an amendment of the lease and supersede it, but it is written in a way that is ambiguous on its face, and is certainly not ideal.</p>
