Tip #79: Sample Lease Agreements
Oddly enough, some standard legal forms that you come across are actually more tenant-friendly than what is required in your state.
Others leave out crucial remedies and legal rights for landlords that make the difference between making a profit, or losing in court to an unscrupulous tenant.
The well-respected legal publisher Nolo has developed a forms book, Every Landlord’s Legal Guide, which comes with a CD of forms, along with a state-by-state chart that makes it easy to customize a rental application or lease agreement for any state.
Because these forms are written and reviewed by legal experts with specific experience in landlord-tenant law, each will include many important terms that you will not see in more generic publications.
Check it out at the AAOA forms store.
