How To Draft A Clear Rental Agreement
“A clear rental agreement sets expectations and protects both landlord and tenant.”
Key tips for drafting your rental agreement:
1. Include all parties: Names of landlord and tenant(s) with contact info.
2. Define the property: Exact address and description of the rental unit.
3. State the lease term: Start and end dates, plus renewal terms if any.
4. Specify rent details: Amount, due date, payment methods, and late fees.
5. Outline security deposit: Amount, conditions for refund, and deductions.
6. List tenant responsibilities: Maintenance, cleanliness, noise rules, and guest policies.
7. Clarify landlord obligations: Repairs, utilities included, and access terms.
8. Include legal clauses: Termination conditions, dispute resolution, and local law compliance.
9. Require signatures: Both parties must sign and date the agreement.
A thorough, clear contract reduces misunderstandings…
And creates a solid foundation for a successful rental relationship.
