As with any legal contract, a Personal Property Rental Agreement will not be legally binding until all parties to the agreement have signed. Different from a generic Personal Property Lease template that you might come across elsewhere, your rental contract comes with the option of Document Defense®, so an attorney in our network can review the situation and take action if you need to demand payment or have another issue.
Regardless of if you're lending furniture or a prized piece of fine jewelry for a wedding, you should be sure about what happens if it's stolen, broken, or lost. Working out all the issues before they become problems can save you a lot of time and frustration later. The following list of benefits may help you make the decision to use one:
Without a Personal Property Rental Agreement, you and the renter may have to manage any of the following repercussions: not being paid in a timely manner, unplanned damage to the property and associated expenses, and, not to mention, little to no legal recourse when disputes arise.
In order to complete your Personal Property Lease with Rocket Lawyer, you will need to have the following details:
As expected, your Personal Property Lease will also contain legal language related to past due payments, liability, and governing law. Using the document tool, you are able to add more custom editing, as well.
The cost of working with a conventional attorney might total anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands, if the matter is complex. As a property owner planning to draft your free document with Rocket Lawyer, you will need to take in the guidance that is given. If you'd like, you may also ask an Rocket Lawyer network attorney to review it for you.
When you are ready to finalize your document, it should be signed. Be sure to send a final copy of the fully signed contract to the lessee. When you use RocketSign®, you can handle the entire process online. With a membership, you also will be able to download it as a Word or PDF file, make copies, and print it as needed. You may also wish to check out more contracts in our library.
Hiring an attorney to review your contract might be relatively time-consuming. Sometimes a lawyer will not even accept requests to review a document if they did not write it. In the event that an attorney does offer to help you, they are still going to charge their standard rate for doing it. An easier and more cost-effective way to double-check your document would be through attorney services at Rocket Lawyer . When you become a Premium member, you can have your documents examined by an attorney. Whether you create another Personal Property Rental Agreement or other legal documents, Rocket Lawyer is here to support you.
