Nevertheless, reliance on a generic model also carries inherent risks. Landlords and tenants must be aware that no "one-size-fits-all" document can address all specific situations. For example, if the original lease was registered with the tax authorities (ANAF) for fiscal purposes, the additional act extending the term must also be declared. A simple Word model will not remind the user of this fiscal obligation. Similarly, if the lease is for commercial premises (spații cu destinație de birouri/comercial), additional clauses regarding early termination penalties or renovation responsibilities during the extended period might be necessary, which a basic residential model may lack.
Secondly, the practical advantage of the cannot be overstated. In a country where many lease agreements are negotiated directly between individuals without the immediate involvement of a notary or lawyer, accessibility is key. A ".doc" or ".docx" file allows users to easily download, modify, and personalize the document. They can change the names, dates, updated rental amounts (if any), and specific clauses (e.g., adding a clause about utilities index transmission) on their personal computers. This democratization of legal documentation reduces the need for expensive legal consultations for standard, non-contentious extensions. Furthermore, the electronic format allows for easy storage, duplication, and even electronic signing (semnătură electronică), aligning with the digitization of public and private services in Romania. model act aditional prelungire contract inchiriere word
However, the utility of a standard model is contingent upon its quality. A well-drafted "Model Act Adițional" must include several essential elements to be effective. It should explicitly reference the original contract (date, registration number, parties), state the new expiry date, reconfirm the rent amount or clearly indicate any indexed increase, and reaffirm that all other clauses of the original contract remain in full force. Crucially, it must include a clause stating that this addendum prevails over the original contract in case of any inconsistency regarding the lease term. A poorly drafted model, missing these elements, can create more legal problems than it solves—for instance, by failing to specify if the extension is for a fixed or indefinite period. Nevertheless, reliance on a generic model also carries
