A real estate lease is a written agreement between a Landlord and a Tenant establishing the rights and responsibilities of each party. The Landlord is the owner of real estate (also known as "premises") who rents that property to a Tenant for the Tenant's use. A "residential" lease applies to real estate used as a residence, while a "commercial" lease applies to business property. This program provides a Standard Form Lease that contains a comprehensive set of provisions and options. This program's Quick Form Lease automatically includes many of the standard Lease provisions that most users would select if given the choice, and therefore is designed for easier use. A written lease should be prepared and signed whenever property is rented to reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings between the Tenant and the Landlord regarding the rental arrangement. |
