Yes, but if you are adding new terms to the contract the other party doesn't have to agree to them or could rescind the whole deal.
If the ink is dry so to speak on the contract and you try to add new terms the other party is free to accept or decline them and if they do decline them you still have to live up to your side of the bargain and cant get out of it.

For any part of a contract to be valid, there must be proof that there was what lawyers call "consensus ad idem", which means that all parties signing were in agreement. It is therefore pointless to add comments indicating reservations on your part unless these are also agreed to by the landlord, who must indicate as much by signing them along with you. Ideally any further points which you want to make which are accepted by the landlord should be incorporated in the document itself before signature. A way round this is to preface the comments by saying that the parties agree that these comments should form an integral part of the contract itself.

If you add to the contract, the other party must then read and agree to the terms before the contract becomes valid. So, in a nutshell, yes, but that doesn't automatically make the terms a part of the lease.

Normally there is an inventory you need to agree to. If you notice anything wrong with the property such as stains on the carpet etc you can add them and sign for it. The landlord or agent sould check at the time and also sign. When you move out you cannot be held responsible for anything you put down

No,because its a contract if you do not like the contract stated siply dont buy or reject it to avoid problems in the future, remember that the contract well be presented to you is always favor to other side not in you, so review first.

Or put another way, you should first agree any amendments to the terms with your landlord/agent, and then write them on the contract.
You should initial, and also get them to initial any such amendments.
