RENTER AGREES TO RENT FOR ONE YEAR.
UPON LEASE RENEWAL, RENTER MAY ELECT NOT TO RENEW BUT AGREES TO PROVIDE A NOTICE OF 30 DAYS
PRIOR TO THE DATE OF EXPIRATION.
HOUSE IS TO BE LEFT IN THE CONDITION IT STARTED OUT IN, BARRING NORMAL LIFE WEAR AND TEAR, OR
RENTER AGREES TO FORFEIT HER/HIS DEPOSIT OF $100.00
RENTER AGREES THAT IF HE/SHE VIOLATES ANY OF THE WRITTEN RULES, OWNER RESERVE THE RIGHT TO
BREAK HER/HIS LEASE AND EVICT HIM WITH A 30 DAY NOTICE.|||yes she needs a copy.......
for the long term guests, my leases always say anyone staying more then a week, "long term" can be interpreted however they want
maybe add the fee for late rent, mine says after the 3rd a $100 fee is added onto the rent
also mine says the landlord must give 24 hours notice before entering the residence unless there is an emergency such as flood or fire
if there are any pets involved you may need to add rules about them but other than that i think it sounds good|||She has the right to have a copy of anything she signs.|||You both get signed in ink copies. You may not alter anything without making up a new one, that she agrees to, or she has the right to decline and give a 30 day notice without a hassell from you, read my other post to you, its better to be safe then sorry.
She has tenants rights, since your new to this, you need to contact housing so that you know, as a landlord her legal rights.|||Line #1 is not enforceable. "As Is" clauses are not legal. All fifty states require the apt. meet certain requirements, any agreement to the contrary are not binding and can not be enforced in a court of law.
End your contract with a line saying Lessee Signature and date and a line saying Lessor Signature and date.|||I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of this lease is a good idea. Just be sure you both sign both copies. The one you keep and the one you give your tenant|||I would strongly advise you not to use the above as a contract. There are real leases and rental agreements available online for a minimal fee - these are much safer to use. You can get yourself in real trouble for not knowing and following your state and county laws regarding renting.
Most counties also have "landlord's associations" which, after becoming a member, will provide you with the most up-to-date forms necessary for your area.
Don't take a chance!|||Is this a synopsis of your lease terms? It is not in proper legal form. Each state bar association and each state realtors' association will have standard forms that are legally acceptable in their state. You need to get a proper lease form, or get a landlord's attorney to draw one up to your specifications if you want any deviations from the standard.
Anyone who signs any lease, contract, etc, is entitled to receive a copy of the document. Therefore, when both you and the tenant sign, you must give the tenant a copy of the lease. Or you can make two original counterparts, you both sign both of the documents and you each keep one. This way you both have original signatures on your document.|||There are standard leases available for every state. You should use a pre-made lease. This insures you are following the laws of the state and shows that you intend to be a fair landlord. You may add your additional requests in an addendum to the standard lease. (Is there a way you could sound less like the cliche elderly landlady peeking through the lace curtains?)
Unless you use a standard lease for your state (and in some cases, city) you are leaving yourself open for them to break the lease at any time.
And yes, you must provide a copy of the lease. How could they be expected to follow something they don't have?
You really should have a lawyer review these kind of things.|||Honestly, you are way over your head if you are writing your own rental / lease agreement. I don't know what state you are in. I am only familiar with CA landlord tenant law, but there are provisions in this lease that are not enforceable in CA. You should spend the money and have an attorney draw up the document. It will only cost a couple of hundred dollars, and you may save far more in legal fees if this deal goes sideways. A paralegal might be able to do it for you as well.|||Again read the answer to the other question just like this one. Go to Office Depot and pick up a rental agreement and change a few things and go for it. You are trying to complicate the process and people will do what they want to once in the unit no matter what they sign or you want them to do.
And please if you are going to post this again stop with the caps already it is hare enough to read.
If you go to landlords.com you can probably even print off a lease.
