Does the Aira Fitness lease allow for oral modifications?

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any changes or modifications to the lease addendum must be in writing. Specifically, no amendment or variation of the terms of the addendum is valid unless it is written, signed by all parties involved, and has Aira Fitness's written consent.

This requirement means that verbal agreements or understandings are not legally binding. An Aira Fitness franchisee must ensure that any changes to their lease agreement are documented in writing and approved by Aira Fitness to be enforceable. This protects all parties by providing a clear record of any agreed-upon changes and prevents disputes based on differing recollections of verbal agreements.

This stipulation is typical in franchising, as it ensures that all lease modifications align with Aira Fitness's standards and protect their brand. It also prevents landlords and franchisees from making changes that could negatively impact the franchise system. Franchisees should be diligent in documenting all lease-related communications and changes to avoid potential misunderstandings or legal issues.
