Standard Lease Modification

Please Note that Modifications are not included in the free version.

Use Case: The standard lease modification is the most common modification type, which can arise from a simple lease renewal. In those instances, you must remeasure the lease liability with the adjustments being recorded against the ROU asset (no P&L impact).

Prerequisites: Because a lease modification cannot be undone without significant effort, before running a lease modification, it is best practice to review the lease entries and confirm the changes you intend to make to the term, discount rate, and payment schedule.

Effective Date: Note that the effective date is the date when both parties agree to the lease modifications. Therefore, the month in which the agreement is obtained is most likely the date that it should be recorded within NetLease

Step By Step Process:

1. Navigate to the lease record where the modification is to be recorded and select the Lease Action drop down then choose Modify Lease.

2. On the Lease Modification page, the Modification Type will default to Standard Modification (LL Remeasure).

3. Note that the fields are prepopulated with the current lease attributes, including the payment schedule. Note that you are only able to modify fields such as Effective Modification Date, Lease Term, Lease End Date, Incremental Borrowing Rate, Notes, and Adjust Payment Schedule.

4. Update the following fields as necessary for the lease modification (refer to the guidance for appropriate adjustments per your modification type)

5. Once all the fields have been updated click Modify Lease.

6. You can view the completed lease modification at the bottom of the lease record under Modifications.

• A new option will appear in the Lease Action drop down menu to Reverse Last Modification.
