Repair Addendum

A contract amendment specifying which inspection-related repairs the seller agrees to complete.

In plain English

After inspection negotiations, a repair addendum documents exactly which repairs the seller agrees to make (or what credit they'll provide instead), amending the original purchase agreement.
