Ten Terms to Include in Your Lease or Rental Agreement

What should be included in every lease or rental agreement?

A lease or rental agreement sets out the rules landlords and tenants agree to follow in their rental relationship. It is a legal contract, as well as an immensely practical document full of crucial business details, such as how long the tenant can occupy the property and the amount of rent due each month. Whether the lease or rental agreement is as short as one page or longer than five, typed or handwritten, it needs to cover the basic terms of the tenancy.

Here are some of the most important items to cover in your lease or rental agreement.

  1. Names of all tenants.
  2. Limits on occupancy.
  3. Term of the tenancy.
  4. Rent.
  5. Deposits and fees.
  6. Repairs and maintenance.
  7. Entry to rental property.
  8. Restrictions on tenant illegal activity.
  9. Pets.
  10. Other Restrictions.
