The form is being treated as a contract, and like all contracts I am requested to sign, I would line through and correct them as needed, then sign. If the other party will not allow the amendments, then we go to the next step, but in the mean time, the contract was made factually correct.
I did this with my girlfriend (now wife) on our first rental contract and was amused by her shock at my changing the "official" forms.
Likewise, forms with blanks that in no way allow for the information to be printed into the space given get writing that extends across whatever needed to supply the correct answers. Maybe the form will eventually be updated to be a little more accommodating, maybe not.
- Kiro 14y agoWhy so overzealous? Would you be shocked if I said that I always sign stuff without even reading it?
- raintrees 14y agoNo, not shocked. I think we all tend to live in buffer zones at times where we may not be paying attention. I am sorry to say that it is not uncommon for me to realize that I have been driving down the road and not really paying attention to road conditions. I guess I just choose to keep myself on task when faced with a contract much more often than not, and consciously make the decision to read it or not read it each time. Most of the time I will read it, and make sure it is factually correct. I freely admit I do occasionally choose to forgo reading a contract if other factors are weighing heavier. Like the impatient person behind me in line that seems to want to clean the floor with me because they are in a much bigger hurry :)
