Create Your Own Lease?

Whether you create your own lease, use a state-specific template or have your legal team draft a lease, there are some key items that should be included.

The lease agreement is what contractually connects a tenant to one of your rental properties. The lease outlines the expectations and rules of this relationship, no matter the length of time.
