Real estate contract addendums ?

If you were named as an intentional beneficiary in a recorded addendum that specifies the obligations the landlord and buyer agreed to regarding your apartment, and those obligations aren't being honored, you have a potential legal claim. This is not something a real estate agent can resolve for you. You need a real estate attorney who can review the addendum, the purchase agreement, and your current situation. If the addendum clearly states that upgrades and specific use of the property were guaranteed to you as a named beneficiary, and neither the original owner nor the buyer has fulfilled those obligations, the attorney can advise you on enforcement options. Bring the addendum, any correspondence you have with the landlord about the unfulfilled obligations, documentation of what you've paid out of pocket, and evidence of the discrepancy between what was promised and what you've received. The sooner you act the better, as statutes of limitations apply to contract enforcement claims.

A contract addendum is an attachment to the original contract that modifies or clarifies a part of the agreement. In real estate, addendums are used to update or change terms without rewriting the entire purchase or lease agreement. For example, an addendum can extend closing dates, adjust the sale price, define which appliances or fixtures are included, or spell out repairs or contingencies. Addendums must be signed by both the buyer and seller (or landlord and tenant), and once signed they become part of the original contract and are legally binding. If you’re unsure about your rights under a particular addendum, it’s a good idea to consult an attorney who can review the document and help enforce its terms.

Did you or do you have attorney representation? If not, probably in your best interest to get a consultation and find out what your rights, responsibilities and next steps are.

It sounds like you were named as an intended beneficiary in a 2016 addendum for certain work or upgrades, and as a third-party beneficiary you might be able to enforce it, but it depends on the exact language, so you’ll need a Pennsylvania real estate or contract attorney to review the addendum and sale documents to see if the obligations are enforceable and what remedies are available.
