Sample Residential Lease Agreement Download: Adobe PDF, MS Word (.docx) The New Jersey residential lease agreement (“rental agreement”) is a written contract for the exchange of the temporary use of a residential property for regular, periodic payments (“rent”). The parties involved in the agreement are known as the landlord (“lessor”) and the tenant (“lessee”). New Jersey Lease Agreement Disclosures The below disclosures are required for all or some residential lease agreements in New Jersey. Truth in Renting Guide Disclosure Applicable to all rental units in New Jersey. A New Jersey landlord must provide a prospective tenant with the “Truth in Renting Guide.” This guide informs tenants of their rights. Landlords shall distribute a copy of the new and updated edition of the Truth in Renting Guide for every tenant within 30 days after it has been posted on the Department of Community Affairs website. Additionally, there must be a copy of the statement posted in a common area to be accessed by prospective and current tenants. Download: New Jersey Truth in Renting Guide Disclosure Form (PDF) Flood Zone Notice Applicable to any property that has been determined to be in a flood zone in New Jersey. New Jersey landlords must provide notice if a property is in a flood zone. This notice should be given prior to tenancy and must be included in the rental agreement. FLOOD ZONE. The rental unit at is in a confirmed flood zone. Please refer to the FEMA website for more information on emergency preparedness. Download: New Jersey Flood Zone Notice Disclosure Form (PDF) Window Guard Disclosure/Notice of Right to Child Protective Window Guards Applicable to all rental units in New Jersey. To protect children from falling out of windows, landlords in New Jersey have a responsibility to provide protective window guards to tenants upon written request. Window guards are metal grilles that are installed to keep children from climbing out a window to prevent injury or death. Below is a model lease and notice provision that is required in residential lease agreements. This notice must be in boldface type. (NJ Admin Code 27A) The owner (landlord) is required by law to provide, install and maintain window guards in the apartment if a child or children 10 years of age or younger is, or will be, living in the apartment or is, or will be, regularly present there for a substantial period of time if the tenant gives the owner (landlord) a written request that the window guards be installed. The owner (landlord) is also required, upon the written request of the tenant, to provide, install and maintain window guards in the hallways to which persons in the tenant’s unit have access without having to go out of the building. If the building is a condominium, cooperative or mutual housing building, the owner (landlord) of the apartment is responsible for installing and maintaining window guards in the apartment and the association is responsible for installing and maintaining window guards in hallway windows. Window guards are only required to be provided in first floor windows where the window sill is more than six feet above grade or there are other hazardous conditions that make installation of window guards necessary to protect the safety of children. A notice of the right to request window guards must be included in the rental agreement, as well as the price for installation (which may not exceed $20 for each window). Below is an example of the right to request: PROTECTIVE WINDOW GUARDS. Tenant has a right to request protective window guards be placed on windows at a cost of $ per window. Applicable to senior citizen housing projects and units within a senior housing project that is a planned unit development in New Jersey. Landlords must give a Statement that sets forth the telephone numbers of the State and local officials for the municipality that receives reports of housing emergencies and complaints. If the project is operated as a planned real estate development, the board must provide copies of the Public Offering Statement registered with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and current bylaws. The tenant must sign a receipt for these Statements and documents. These Statements and documents must be posted at one location on the premises and the landlord must keep the signed receipt for one year. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Applicable to any rental units built prior to 1978. It is a federal law in the United States that any home built prior to 1978 must disclose the risks posed by lead-based paints. This law requires landlords in New Jersey to: Download: New Jersey Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form (PDF) Optional Disclosures & Addendums (Recommended) The following lease agreement disclosures and addendums are not required by New Jersey law. These disclosures can be helpful to include to help reduce future conflicts with tenants or reduce legal liability for landlords. Optional Disclosure How the Disclosure is Helpful Asbestos This disclosure informs tenants if there is asbestos at the property. If there is asbestos a tenant can take certain precautions to minimize the chance of disturbing the asbestos fibers. Bed Bugs If the rental unit has a history of infestation, landlords should provide information on how to handle a bed bug infestation. This disclosure notifies the tenant of their obligation to cooperate with bed bug prevention and immediately report any sign of infestation to the landlord. Landlord’s Name & Address Creates a line of communication for important notices and demands between tenant and landlord. Landlords or any authorized individual to act on behalf of the property should provide contact information (including their address) within or alongside the lease. Late/Returned Check Fees Landlords should disclose if they will charge a late fee or a returned check fee in the lease agreement. In New Jersey there are no restrictions on late fees and a $25 limit on returned checks. Additionally, Under New Jersey law, landlords need to wait five days after the due date to charge a late fee if the tenant receives Social Security Old Age Pensions, Railroad Retirement Pensions, Social Security Disability Benefits, Supplemental Security Income, or other governmental pensions. Medical Marijuana Use Inform tenants if medical marijuana use on the property is permittable. Some state laws allow landlords to restrict marijuana usage to non-smoking methods only or inform tenants of designated smoking areas to not interfere with other tenants’ enjoyment of the premises. Mold Disclosure Informing the tenant of the current mold status of a property protects the landlord against future liability of mold damages. Move-in Checklist A move-in checklist holds the tenant accountable for future damages that they may cause. Non-Refundable Fees A non-refundable charge must be written in the lease agreement. If a non-refundable charge is not written in the lease, the tenant may be subject to a refund upon termination of the lease. Shared Utilities Arrangements For rental units with shared utilities, a landlord should disclose the specifics of how they are shared, and how each party’s bill is calculated. Providing this information to tenants will give them a reasonable expectation of what they owe each month. Smoking Inform tenants of designated smoking areas to not interfere with other tenants’ enjoyment of the premises. Consequences of Not Including Mandatory Disclosures Disclosures outline the important health, safety, and property information and vary by state. If a landlord does not provide the tenant with the federally or state-mandated disclosures, they could face legal repercussions or monetary penalties. If a landlord fails to disclose the lead-based paint hazard disclosure, they can face fines of up to $18,364 per violation. (24 CFR § 30.65) It’s best to check with your local and state laws on which disclosures you must provide to your tenant. 1 NJ Rev Stat § 46:8-46 (2018) …Every landlord shall distribute one copy of the statement prepared and made available pursuant to the provisions of this act to each of their tenants within 30 days after it has been made available by the department and shall thereafter provide a copy of the current statement to each new tenant at or prior to the time he assumes occupancy of the dwelling. In addition, every landlord shall keep a copy of the current statement posted in one or more locations so that the statement is prominent and accessible to all his tenants… 2 NJ Rev Stat § 46:8-50 (2018) …1. Every landlord shall notify each of the landlord’s tenants upon the event that the rental property which is the subject of a lease has been determined to be located in a flood zone or area. Each new tenant shall be notified prior to the time that occupancy of the rental unit is assumed… 3 N.J. Stat. § 2A:42-113 (2022) …b. Every landlord of a senior citizen housing project, and every landlord of a unit within a senior citizen housing project that is a planned unit development, shall give copies of the statements required by P.L. 1974, c.50 (C. 46:8-27 et seq.), P.L. 1975, c.310 (C. 46:8-43 et seq.) and section 1 of this act to each resident at the time of the signing of the lease and any renewal thereof, if the units in the project are rented or offered for rent.

Sample Residential Lease Agreement Download: Adobe PDF, MS Word (.docx) Use our Lease Agreement to rent out your residential property. A Lease Agreement (or rental agreement) is a document that explains the terms under which a tenant rents a residential or commercial property from a landlord. Lease agreements are legally binding contracts that explain the obligations and rights of the tenant and landlord. Even if you’re renting out a room in your house to a friend or family member, you need a lease agreement for legal protection if you encounter problems with your tenants. Table of Contents Lease Agreements By Type Here are some free lease agreement templates by type: Residential Lease Agreement Forms [For Landlords] Use our standard lease agreement to rent out a residential property for a fixed period of typically one year. This agreement includes the most essential and common clauses and can be used for a house, apartment, studio, condo, duplex, townhouse, basement, or mobile home. Standard lease agreements differ by state, so be sure to check the requirements for your property. Use a month-to-month agreement if you don’t want to commit to renting out your property for a full year or more, but still need to protect your rights. Using a monthly lease allows you (and your tenant) to be flexible. Use a short term rental agreement to rent out your property for a short period of time (usually between 1–31 days), most commonly as a vacation rental. A short-term rental agreement explains to guests the rules of their stay, and what they can expect when they arrive. Sublease Agreement Forms [For Tenants] Use a sublease agreement to rent out a property (or just a room) when you’re already renting the property from another landlord. For example, you may want to sublet a property if you need to move out but don’t want to break your lease. Use a room rental agreement when you’re renting out a room in your property and need to set rules and boundaries. For example, you can use this agreement to explain how you'll divide rent and utility payments, and whether your tenant can have guests visit. Commercial/Other Lease Agreement Forms Use a commercial lease agreement if you’re renting out an office building, retail space, restaurant, industrial facility, or any property where the tenant will operate a business. Use a land lease agreement to rent out a piece of land that does not have a property on it. A land or ground lease can have multiple purposes, including agricultural, residential, and commercial. Use a rent-to-own lease agreement to give the tenant the option to purchase the property at the end of the agreement. This type of lease helps a tenant who cannot purchase a property right away, and allows the seller to receive a steady income.

Extended Lease. Another proposal that may convince a landlord to discount the rent would be a multiple-year lease. Most property owners prefer to have a consistent occupancy where they don’t have to deal with the hassle of finding a new tenant. As most lease terms are for one (1) year, an eighteen (18) month or two (2) year contract might be more attractive than a traditional annual lease. Promote Yourself – Use the positive aspects of yourself to your advantage. This could include a high credit score, solid references from past landlords, job status, financial statements, no criminal record, etc. (This will typically be verified by the landlord anyway using a rental application.) Compromise – Remember, negotiating isn’t about trying to get everything you want and leaving the other party with nothing. You will probably have no success with that type of approach. Rather, the goal should be to meet somewhere in the middle. (You have to give a little in order to receive.) For Landlords: Analyze your Property – In order to negotiate with prospective tenants, you must first know the value of your rental property. Is it in high demand? Does it have unique features and a good location? What are similar rental properties going for? Have you had a lot of interested parties contacting you about the property? These are all selling points that can be brought up when speaking to a potential renter who is trying to get a discount. Knowing the positive aspects of your rental is the best leverage you can have when trying to secure a profitable monthly rent and the terms & conditions you desire. Can a Landlord Break a Lease? The answer to this question is subject to the content of the lease. Given this information, the landlord may have the following options: Termination Clause – If the landlord inserted an “early termination” provision that allows them to end the occupancy as long as a certain number of days’ notice is delivered to the tenant, then they will be able to break the lease accordingly. Tenant Violation – If the tenant has violated one of the conditions contained within the lease agreement, then the landlord may reserve the right to legally end the tenancy without penalty. But, if the agreement does not contain an out for the landlord and the tenant has held up their end of the bargain, the laws will protect the tenant and they will be able to continue residing within the property until the expiration of the contract. Can a Landlord Change the Lease After it is Signed? The only possible way that a landlord would be able to change the terms of the rental contract after both parties have signed the document would be to create an addendum with the supplementary terms and have both parties sign the form. If the tenant doesn’t agree to the new terms and refuses to sign the addendum, then the landlord has no other option than to follow through with the conditions of the primary agreement. What are Lessees and Lessors? This is the basic terminology used when entering into a lease agreement. Basically, the lessee is the tenant entering into the contract, and the lessor is landlord renting out the property. It is important to know these terms as they are prominently used in most contracts for the rental of a property. Sample Residential Lease Agreement Download: Adobe PDF, MS Word (.docx) 4.5 Stars | 163 Ratings 1,854 Downloads Updated May 05, 2023A standard residential lease agreement is a fixed-term rental contract between a landlord and a tenant that pays monthly rent for the use of the property. The term is most commonly for a one-year period. The tenant is obligated to pay the first month’s rent, security deposit, and any other fees at the time of executing the lease. Rental Application – Use to verify a tenant’s employment, credit, and background information. A residential lease is between a tenant that agrees to pay rent for the use of livable property.The landlord will accept rent, usually on a monthly basis, with a term that commonly lasts for 1-year. What Should be Included? Every lease should include these 3 main items: Term: Start and end dates. Rent ($): Usually per month, but can be on a daily or weekly basis. Deposits ($): Such as security deposit, pet deposit, etc. Video When to Use? A residential lease should be used when leasing any type of livable property to a tenant. This may include: Single-family homes; Apartments; Condos; Room rentals; Mobile homes; or Other residential dwellings. The main purpose is to minimize disputes by having all agreements entered into a written contract. How to Negotiate Each tenant is unique and the following are major factors when negotiating a lease: Employment History – The landlord wants to see a long and stable job history that includes staying at each company for 3-5 years. Any less than that, or long periods of unemployment, will be deemed as high-risk to the landlord. Current Pay Stubs – In order to prove one’s income, the landlord would like to see the applicant’s last 2 weeks’ pay stubs. This can be either gathered directly from the employer or through a bank statement. Past Income – The applicant will need to gather their last 2-3 years income tax filings with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). For employees this would be Form W-4, for self-employed individuals or independent contractors this would be Form 1099; Rent Pre-Payment – If the applicant can pay rent in advance at the start of the lease, there is a chance the landlord will agree to a lesser monthly amount. Especially if the amount is equal to more than 3 months; Security Deposit – Due to most States establishing a maximum security deposit amount, the tenant may not be able to take advantage of this to the fullest extent; and Landlord History – If the applicant has rented previously in their life, they should gather past landlord and property manager contact information as a viable reference. Fixed Lease vs Month-to-Month Fixed Lease Month-to-Month Lease Fixed Lease Fixed-term (start and end dates); Cannot end early; and Cannot change the agreement. Month-to-Month Lease Renews every month (tenancy-at-will); Either party may terminate (in accordance with Month-to-Month Termination Laws); and The agreement can be changed with proper notice.

Sample Residential Lease Agreement Download: PDF, Word (.docx) Use our Lease Agreement to rent out your residential property. A Lease Agreement (or rental agreement) is a document that explains the terms under which a tenant rents a residential or commercial property from a landlord. Lease agreements are legally binding contracts that explain the obligations and rights of the tenant and landlord. Even if you’re renting out a room in your house to a friend or family member, you need a lease agreement for legal protection if you encounter problems with your tenants. Table of Contents Lease Agreements By Type Here are some free lease agreement templates by type: Residential Lease Agreement Forms [For Landlords] Use this template to rent out a residential property for a fixed period of typically one year. This agreement includes the most essential and common clauses and can be used for a house, apartment, studio, condo, duplex, townhouse, basement, or mobile home. Most Popular Use this template if you don’t want to commit to renting out your property for a full year or more, but still need to protect your rights. Using a monthly lease allows you (and your tenant) to be flexible. Use this template to rent out your property for a short period of time (usually between 1–31 days), most commonly as a vacation rental. A short-term rental agreement explains to guests the rules of their stay, and what they can expect when they arrive. Sublease Agreement Forms [For Tenants] Use this template to rent out a property (or just a room) when you’re already renting the property from another landlord. For example, you may want to sublet a property if you need to move out but don’t want to break your lease. Use this template when you’re renting out a room in your property and need to set rules and boundaries. For example, you can use this agreement to explain how you'll divide rent and utility payments, and whether your tenant can have guests visit. Commercial/Other Lease Agreement Forms Use this template if you’re renting out an office building, retail space, restaurant, industrial facility, or any property where the tenant will operate a business. Use this template to rent out a piece of land that does not have a property on it. A land or ground lease can have multiple purposes, including agricultural, residential, and commercial. Use this template to give the tenant the option to purchase the property at the end of the agreement. This type of lease helps a tenant who cannot purchase a property right away, and allows the seller to receive a steady income. You can further support your original lease agreement by modifying the terms with a lease amendment. Additionally, you can end an existing lease with a lease termination letter or extend a rental for another term with a lease renewal.

Sample Residential Lease Agreement Download: Adobe PDF, MS Word (.docx) A standard residential lease agreement (or “rental agreement”) is a written document between a landlord and tenant that formalizes an agreement to rent real property for a fee. The contract must include specific details such as the monthly rent and the responsibilities of each party. Types of Lease Agreements A lease is a legally binding agreement between the landlord and tenant. The agreement allows a tenant to use the property in exchange for a rent payment. Standard/Fixed Term – The most common lease agreement is a fixed term agreement, typically payment is due every month, and the lease term is generally one year or a fixed lease period. Month-to-Month – An agreement which typically lasts for 30 days and usually involves an automatic lease renewal. The lease will continue until a tenant or landlord provide a notice to end the tenancy. One Page (Simple) – A simple, one-page agreement between the landlord and tenant for a fixed term. Sublease– This agreement can be constructed in two ways: a tenant who wants to end their lease early, but the landlord denies the early termination and instead decides to rent to a subtenant until the expiration of the lease; or a tenant who wants to remain in the dwelling unit while renting a room to a subtenant. Roommate– This agreement is designed for tenants who live in the same dwelling unit and share common areas. This type of agreement can be constructed in two ways: among roommates; or among roommates and the landlord. Commercial – A lease that is used for commercial business property (e.g., retail, office space, or industrial use). Short-Term (Vacation) – A short term tenancy that typically lasts a few days. Land Lease – A lease which can be used to purchase home and land. Rent to Own – An agreement where the tenant has the option of purchasing the dwelling unit. Typically, the lease includes both rent payments and additional payments for a down payment on the home. Lease Agreement Basics A lease outlines a plan of tenancy and defines the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and tenant. What is the difference between a lease and a rental agreement? The biggest reason between a lease agreement and a rental agreement is the length of the contract. Rental Agreement – secures a tenancy for a short period of time, typically a month or a 30-day period. Month-to-month rental agreements typically renew each month unless the landlord or tenant provides a notice to terminate the tenancy. Landlords have the authority to revise the rental agreement and may choose to increase rent, change the terms of tenancy, or terminate the agreement on short notice. Lease Agreement – secures a tenancy for a longer period of time, generally a year. During that time, the landlord is unable to raise the rent or change the terms of the tenancy unless the lease agreement allows for modifications, or the tenant agrees to the changes in writing. Landlords in high vacancy areas often prefer leases due to the income stability and low turnover costs. Can a tenant rent without a lease agreement? Depending on the state, a written lease may be required to make disclosures or impose duties relating to tenancies. Oral lease agreements may satisfy some state or local laws but with no clear written agreement, a potential tenancy conflict may arise. It is important to note that without a written agreement, landlords run the risk of not being able to collect or use a security deposit for unpaid rent or property damage. Can you write your own lease agreement? You can write your own lease, but to increase landlord-tenant protection, use a lease agreement template or contact an attorney for legal advice. This way, landlords can ensure that the lease is legally compliant and protects your rights as a landlord. Typical Lease Agreement Provisions A lease agreement or rental agreement outlines the basic rules and terms that both the landlord and tenant agree to. Below are examples of important information that should be included in every lease or rental agreement. Names of Tenants/Landlords – The agreement should state the names of the tenants, landlord, or any individual authorized to speak on behalf of or accept payments for the property. Some states require a landlord to disclose the contact information of anyone authorized to speak on behalf of or accept payments for the property to the tenant(s). Resident Contact Information – Knowing how to effectively communicate between a tenant and landlord can save a lot of hassle. Outline how both the tenant and landlord want to be contacted (e.g., text, phone, written notice, etc.). Limits on Occupation – Having this outlined in the agreement guarantees a landlord’s right to determine who should be occupying the dwelling unit. If a person’s name is not on the agreement, it could potentially be grounds for eviction. Type of Tenancy – The agreement should clearly state what type of tenancy arrangement a landlord will have with the tenant (e.g., month-to-month, fixed term, etc.). Include the start date, tenancy length and expiration date (if there is one). Payment of Rent – Details of how the rent should be paid (i.e., mailing a check, paying online, etc.), acceptable payment methods, the amount of rent owed, the date the rent is due (i.e., the first of every month) should all be explained in the agreement. If a landlord is charging a late fee or charging for a bounced check, this should be outlined in the lease or rental agreement. Deposits and Fees – To avoid any confusion or conflict, it is recommended to describe how the security deposit will be used (i.e., damages), the amount of the security deposit being collected, how the security deposit will be returned and depending on state laws, where the security deposit will be held and if any interested will be paid to the tenant. Any non-refundable fees should be clearly stated such as a pet deposit or cleaning fee. Repairs and Maintenance – The agreement should clearly layout the landlord and tenant’s responsibilities to maintain the dwelling unit (i.e., keep the premises clean, changing the batteries in a smoke detector, maintaining the yard, etc.). This should also outline any restrictions imposed on tenant’s making repairs to the dwelling unit. Landlord’s Access to the Property – To avoid any discrepancies regarding a landlord’s right to access the premises and to avoid any privacy issues, it must be clarified in the lease agreement of how much notice must be provided to the tenant. A landlord may access the property to make necessary repairs or in some states to show the unit to potential renters. Rules and Policies – Important rules, regulations, and policies (i.e., smoking restrictions, rent control ordinances, health/safety codes, prohibiting illegal activity, or permitting pets, etc.) should be outlined in the agreement. This helps limit a landlord’s liability. Disclosures – Depending on the state, federal, state or local laws might require landlords to disclose information in the agreement. State Lease Agreement Laws After a lease agreement is signed by both parties, the landlord may be required by state law to provide a copy of the rental agreement upon request. Below are some examples of state requirements for providing copies to tenants. State Requirement California Within 15 Days of Execution Delaware Upon Execution Hawaii Provide a Copy Kansas Provide a Signed Copy New Mexico Prior to Move-In New York Within 30 Days of Signing Tennessee Provide a Copy for All Lease Terms 3 Years or Longer Utah Upon Execution Oregon Provide a Copy and All Amendments/Additions Washington Distribute an Executed Copy to Every Tenant Who Signs the Agreement Wisconsin At the Time of the Agreement Required Disclosures and Addendums Required disclosures and addendums vary by state. Disclosures may be made in the lease or rental agreement and addendums may be attached separately to the lease or rental agreement. Below are the most common required disclosures. Lead-Based Paint – It is a federal law that landlords provide notice of the potential risks of lead-based paint in homes built prior to 1978 with a specific disclosure form and pamphlet in addition to any known hazards in the building. Asbestos – Informs tenants if there is asbestos at the property so that a tenant can take certain precautions to minimize the chance of disturbing the asbestos fibers. This disclosure is required for properties build before 1981. Bed Bugs – For rental units with a history of infestation, it is recommended to provide information on the protocol for handling a bed bug infestation. This will notify the tenant of their obligation to cooperate with bed bug prevention by promptly reporting any sign of infestation to the landlord. Landlord’s Name & Address -Landlords or any individual authorized to manage the rental property must disclose their name and address so future legal notices and demands that are sent by the tenant can be properly delivered. Mold Disclosure– Informing the tenant of the current mold status of a property to protect against future liability of mold damages which might be caused by a tenant’s negligence during the lease term. Shared Utilities Arrangements – For rental units with shared utilities, it is recommended to disclose the specifics of how they are shared, and how each party’s bill is calculated, so that tenants have a reasonable expectation of what they owe each month. Move-in Checklist – An itemized list of damages to the property before the tenant moves in will clarify that the tenant is responsible for any serious damages that occur during the lease term. Refundable/Non-Refundable Fees- If nonrefundable fees are charged, such as a pet fees or other one-time expenses like access to amenities, they must be stated as “nonrefundable” in the lease. Otherwise, they may be subject to a refund upon termination of the lease. Smoking – It is recommended to state where smoking or medical marijuana use is and isn’t allowed on the property so that expectations are clear. Late and Returned Check Fees – Landlords are recommended to disclose any late fees or returned (bounced) check fees that they intend to charge. Some states limit how high these fees can be and should reflect the actual expenses incurred by the landlord because of a late payment. Illegal Clauses It is unlawful for a landlord to require a tenant to waive any of their rights or place discriminatory conditions in a lease or rental agreement. Illegal provisions may result in the landlord being liable for damages. Here are a few examples of illegal provisions: Warranty of Habitability – Every state (except for Arkansas) has an implied warranty of habitability meaning that landlords have an obligation to keep the dwelling unit in a livable condition. Landlords are required to follow specific health and safety codes that provide minimum standards for rental units. This right to a livable dwelling unit cannot be waived. Tenant Responsible for Maintenance and Repairs – Landlords need to pay for the property’s maintenance and repairs; however, many leases and rental agreements are written to purposely confuse tenants when describing the landlord’s responsibilities. This is to make tenants feel that the maintenance and repair responsibilities are theirs. It is important to note that in certain circumstances, a tenant may be responsible for a repair if they negligently or deliberately destroy part of the premises.

Sample Residential Lease Agreement Download: PDF, Word (.docx) A standard residential lease agreement (or “rental agreement”) is a written document between a landlord and tenant that formalizes an agreement to rent real property for a fee. The contract must include specific details such as the monthly rent and the responsibilities of each party. Types of Lease Agreements A lease is a legally binding agreement between the landlord and tenant. The agreement allows a tenant to use the property in exchange for a rent payment. Standard/Fixed Term – The most common lease agreement is a fixed term agreement, typically payment is due every month, and the lease term is generally one year or a fixed lease period. Month-to-Month – An agreement which typically lasts for 30 days and usually involves an automatic lease renewal. The lease will continue until a tenant or landlord provide a notice to end the tenancy. One Page (Simple) – A simple, one-page agreement between the landlord and tenant for a fixed term. Sublease– This agreement can be constructed in two ways: a tenant who wants to end their lease early, but the landlord denies the early termination and instead decides to rent to a subtenant until the expiration of the lease; or a tenant who wants to remain in the dwelling unit while renting a room to a subtenant. Roommate– This agreement is designed for tenants who live in the same dwelling unit and share common areas. This type of agreement can be constructed in two ways: among roommates; or among roommates and the landlord. Commercial – A lease that is used for commercial business property (e.g., retail, office space, or industrial use). Short-Term (Vacation) – A short term tenancy that typically lasts a few days. Land Lease – A lease which can be used to purchase home and land. Rent to Own – An agreement where the tenant has the option of purchasing the dwelling unit. Typically, the lease includes both rent payments and additional payments for a down payment on the home. Lease Agreement Basics A lease outlines a plan of tenancy and defines the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and tenant. What is the difference between a lease and a rental agreement? The biggest reason between a lease agreement and a rental agreement is the length of the contract. Rental Agreement – secures a tenancy for a short period of time, typically a month or a 30-day period. Month-to-month rental agreements typically renew each month unless the landlord or tenant provides a notice to terminate the tenancy. Landlords have the authority to revise the rental agreement and may choose to increase rent, change the terms of tenancy, or terminate the agreement on short notice. Lease Agreement – secures a tenancy for a longer period of time, generally a year. During that time, the landlord is unable to raise the rent or change the terms of the tenancy unless the lease agreement allows for modifications, or the tenant agrees to the changes in writing. Landlords in high vacancy areas often prefer leases due to the income stability and low turnover costs. Can a tenant rent without a lease agreement? Depending on the state, a written lease may be required to make disclosures or impose duties relating to tenancies. Oral lease agreements may satisfy some state or local laws but with no clear written agreement, a potential tenancy conflict may arise. It is important to note that without a written agreement, landlords run the risk of not being able to collect or use a security deposit for unpaid rent or property damage. Can you write your own lease agreement? You can write your own lease, but to increase landlord-tenant protection, use a lease agreement template or contact an attorney for legal advice. This way, landlords can ensure that the lease is legally compliant and protects your rights as a landlord. Typical Lease Agreement Provisions A lease agreement or rental agreement outlines the basic rules and terms that both the landlord and tenant agree to. Below are examples of important information that should be included in every lease or rental agreement. Names of Tenants/Landlords – The agreement should state the names of the tenants, landlord, or any individual authorized to speak on behalf of or accept payments for the property. Some states require a landlord to disclose the contact information of anyone authorized to speak on behalf of or accept payments for the property to the tenant(s). Resident Contact Information – Knowing how to effectively communicate between a tenant and landlord can save a lot of hassle. Outline how both the tenant and landlord want to be contacted (e.g., text, phone, written notice, etc.). Limits on Occupation – Having this outlined in the agreement guarantees a landlord’s right to determine who should be occupying the dwelling unit. If a person’s name is not on the agreement, it could potentially be grounds for eviction. Type of Tenancy – The agreement should clearly state what type of tenancy arrangement a landlord will have with the tenant (e.g., month-to-month, fixed term, etc.). Include the start date, tenancy length and expiration date (if there is one). Payment of Rent – Details of how the rent should be paid (i.e., mailing a check, paying online, etc.), acceptable payment methods, the amount of rent owed, the date the rent is due (i.e., the first of every month) should all be explained in the agreement. If a landlord is charging a late fee or charging for a bounced check, this should be outlined in the lease or rental agreement. Deposits and Fees – To avoid any confusion or conflict, it is recommended to describe how the security deposit will be used (i.e., damages), the amount of the security deposit being collected, how the security deposit will be returned and depending on state laws, where the security deposit will be held and if any interested will be paid to the tenant. Any non-refundable fees should be clearly stated such as a pet deposit or cleaning fee. Repairs and Maintenance – The agreement should clearly layout the landlord and tenant’s responsibilities to maintain the dwelling unit (i.e., keep the premises clean, changing the batteries in a smoke detector, maintaining the yard, etc.). This should also outline any restrictions imposed on tenant’s making repairs to the dwelling unit. Landlord’s Access to the Property – To avoid any discrepancies regarding a landlord’s right to access the premises and to avoid any privacy issues, it must be clarified in the lease agreement of how much notice must be provided to the tenant. A landlord may access the property to make necessary repairs or in some states to show the unit to potential renters. Rules and Policies – Important rules, regulations, and policies (i.e., smoking restrictions, rent control ordinances, health/safety codes, prohibiting illegal activity, or permitting pets, etc.) should be outlined in the agreement. This helps limit a landlord’s liability. Disclosures – Depending on the state, federal, state or local laws might require landlords to disclose information in the agreement. State Lease Agreement Laws After a lease agreement is signed by both parties, the landlord may be required by state law to provide a copy of the rental agreement upon request. Below are some examples of state requirements for providing copies to tenants. State Requirement California Within 15 Days of Execution Delaware Upon Execution Hawaii Provide a Copy Kansas Provide a Signed Copy New Mexico Prior to Move-In New York Within 30 Days of Signing Tennessee Provide a Copy for All Lease Terms 3 Years or Longer Utah Upon Execution Oregon Provide a Copy and All Amendments/Additions Washington Distribute an Executed Copy to Every Tenant Who Signs the Agreement Wisconsin At the Time of the Agreement Required Disclosures and Addendums Required disclosures and addendums vary by state. Disclosures may be made in the lease or rental agreement and addendums may be attached separately to the lease or rental agreement. Below are the most common required disclosures. Lead- Based Paint – It is a federal law that landlords provide notice of the potential risks of lead-based paint in homes built prior to 1978 with a specific disclosure form and pamphlet in addition to any known hazards in the building. Asbestos – Informs tenants if there is asbestos at the property so that a tenant can take certain precautions to minimize the chance of disturbing the asbestos fibers. This disclosure is required for properties build before 1981. Bed Bugs – For rental units with a history of infestation, it is recommended to provide information on the protocol for handling a bed bug infestation. This will notify the tenant of their obligation to cooperate with bed bug prevention by promptly reporting any sign of infestation to the landlord. Landlord’s Name & Address -Landlords or any individual authorized to manage the rental property must disclose their name and address so future legal notices and demands that are sent by the tenant can be properly delivered. Mold Disclosure– Informing the tenant of the current mold status of a property to protect against future liability of mold damages which might be caused by a tenant’s negligence during the lease term. Shared Utilities Arrangements – For rental units with shared utilities, it is recommended to disclose the specifics of how they are shared, and how each party’s bill is calculated, so that tenants have a reasonable expectation of what they owe each month. Move-in Checklist – An itemized list of damages to the property before the tenant moves in will clarify that the tenant is responsible for any serious damages that occur during the lease term. Refundable/Non-Refundable Fees- If nonrefundable fees are charged, such as a pet fees or other one-time expenses like access to amenities, they must be stated as “nonrefundable” in the lease. Otherwise, they may be subject to a refund upon termination of the lease. Smoking – It is recommended to state where smoking or medical marijuana use is and isn’t allowed on the property so that expectations are clear. Late and Returned Check Fees – Landlords are recommended to disclose any late fees or returned (bounced) check fees that they intend to charge. Some states limit how high these fees can be and should reflect the actual expenses incurred by the landlord because of a late payment. Illegal Clauses It is unlawful for a landlord to require a tenant to waive any of their rights or place discriminatory conditions in a lease or rental agreement. Illegal provisions may result in the landlord being liable for damages. Here are a few examples of illegal provisions: Warranty of Habitability – Every state (except for Arkansas) has an implied warranty of habitability meaning that landlords have an obligation to keep the dwelling unit in a livable condition. Landlords are required to follow specific health and safety codes that provide minimum standards for rental units. This right to a livable dwelling unit cannot be waived. Tenant Responsible for Maintenance and Repairs – Landlords need to pay for the property’s maintenance and repairs; however, many leases and rental agreements are written to purposely confuse tenants when describing the landlord’s responsibilities. This is to make tenants feel that the maintenance and repair responsibilities are theirs. It is important to note that in certain circumstances, a tenant may be responsible for a repair if they negligently or deliberately destroy part of the premises.
