Leases & Rental Agreements - 9781413332728

Create a solid, binding lease that complies with your state laws

If you rent out residential real estate, you need to create documents that are legally valid where your rental property is located. Every state has its own rules when it comes to what landlords must include in their leases, and one-size-fits-all forms simply cannot comply with every state’s laws. This book gives you a template and several 50-state law charts, which you can use to create a lease or monthly rental agreement that will work in your state. You’ll also get customizable versions of key rental forms you need, including:

• a fixed-term lease
• a month-to-month rental agreement
•  a rental application
•  tenant reference and credit check forms
• move-in and move-out letters, and
• a property inspection checklist.

The 16th edition is completely updated to reflect the latest landlord-tenant laws—find out what your state requires regarding security deposits, entry to rental property, disclosures, termination notices, and much more. This new edition also covers topics relevant to today’s landlords, such as the wisdom of asking for applicants’ criminal history, the issues to consider when asking for attorneys’ fees, and how to evaluate tenant screening reports.
