Apartment Lease

Before giving keys to a new tenant (or accepting keys from a new landlord), it's a good idea to create an Apartment Lease. It helps protect your interests, whether you're a landlord or a tenant. And with a written agreement in place, it will be a lot easier to answer any future questions and help prevent misunderstandings about the terms of leasing the apartment.

Use the Apartment Lease document if:

• You own a residential rental property, and want to clarify the terms of a rental agreement before leasing the property to a tenant.
• You own a personal residence that you'd like to lease to a tenant, and would like to have a clear set of rules and conditions for the rental.
• You're a tenant looking to lease a residential rental property from a landlord who does not already have a lease form.
• You're a landlord who currently has tenants living on your rental property, and you'd like to formalize the existing rental agreement with a written document.
