Speaking from experience, I have a couple of comments.
If I understand your situation, you have a standing rental agreement with a "tenant" whom agreed to rent your warehouse for $2000 a month originally, and now both the landlord (you) and your tenant agree to revoke the previous rental agreement due to an issue with the flooring. First of all, I presume this is a 12 month lease, not a month-to-month rental. If he pays you $1000 a month for 12 months as suggested, he is essentially renting the warehouse for half of the agreed amount. That said, generally as a landlord, it is not recommended that the original agreement be changed or alterred. Rather, an addendum stating the reason and action required for the change of terms should be drafted and attached to the original signed document. This way, it will show the sequence of events clearly. The language used in your post imitates that used in the legal field but lacked the fluency and clarity. This is the part I am not sure of. Is this part the revised terms or the terms previously agreed ? If it is the former, I would word it this way:

As per our letter dated XXXXX, the tenant undertakes to pay the owner monthly rent amount to $ 2000 which effective from 1st June 2013.
The tenant shall deduct $1000 from monthly rent to pay the monthly rent of $ 1000 for 12 months effective from 1st June 2013 in order to reimburse all expenses incurred for the mezzanine floor work in the rented warehouse.

As per our inital agreement dated XXXXXXXX, Mr. X has agreed to rent the warehouse located at XXXXXXXXX. Upon occupancy, he noticed that the flooring in the mezzanine needed repair. After evaluating the condition of the flooring, both landlord and tenant have agreed to the following amended rent schedule as a result of floor repair:
Under the addendum, Mr X will agree to replace the mezzanine flooring and in return, he will deduct half of the originally agreed rent as stated in the agreement which was $2000 for reimbursement. This deduction will last for 12 consecutive months. Upon receiving the last deducted rent payment, a new lease shall be negociated should Mr X opt to continue renting the warehouse.
