Things You Must Know Before Executing Lease Agreements
What is a lease agreement?
A lease agreement is a contract between a landlord and tenant that outlines the terms of the tenant’s occupancy, such as the length of the lease, monthly rent amount, and rules about pets and smoking. The lease agreements can also include clauses for late fees, renewals, and other conditions that the landlord or tenant may want to add. The purpose of a lease agreement is to protect both the landlord and tenant by setting clear expectations for the duration of the tenancy. This helps to avoid misunderstandings and disputes down the road. For example, if a tenant wants to get out of their lease early, they will be responsible for paying any penalties outlined in the agreement. Conversely, if a landlord needs to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent or damage to the property, they can do so more easily if there is a clause in the lease agreement allowing for this. Lease agreements are typically fairly standard from one property to another within the same state or country. However, there may be some variation in what is included depending on the type of property being rented (e.g., an apartment vs. a house) and whether it is furnished or not. It is important to read over any lease agreement carefully before signing it so that you understand all of your rights and responsibilities as a tenant.
