Leases & Rental Agreements -- Janet Portman, Paperback

Create a solid, binding lease that complies with your state
laws

If you rent out residential real estate, you need to create
documents that are legally valid where your rental property is located. Every
state has its own rules when it comes to what landlords must include in their
leases, and generic forms don't tell you what you need to know. Not only does
this book contain instructions on how to tailor your rental documents to your
state's laws, it also gives you customizable versions of key rental forms you
need, including:

- a fixed-term
lease

- a
month-to-month rental agreement

- a rental
application

- tenant
reference and credit check forms

- move-in and
move-out letters, and

- a property
inspection checklist.

The 15th edition is completely updated to reflect the latest
landlord-tenant laws--find out what your state requires regarding security
deposits, entry to rental property, disclosures, termination notices, and much
more. This new edition also covers topics relevant to today's landlords, such
as cautions about asking for applicants' criminal history, when you can seek
attorneys' fees, and things to consider when using tenant screening reports.
