Finding drug head boyfriends behind her shine must have been a real downer! lolEvery lease should be tailored to meet your needs. The standard leases are just a starting point.Great advice here!!:O) Now this is some great advice!

I'm going to plug a few of those into my general rental contract. I especially like the idea of taking down license plate numbers so that more vehicles don't magically start appearing in the driveway.To add to your collection, a clause that I have started adding in my contracts is a additional rental charge of $10/month for each dog or cat. Dogs invariable get into a rental house and cause wear and tear, and there is always dog poop in the back yard when they leave that someone has to clean up. The extra $10 or $20 a month makes it seem not so bad. Thanks for incluiding those great clause samples. I’m going to plug a few of those into my general rental contract.

There are two categories of landlord: Those that HAVE had problems with tenants and those that WILL have problems with tenants. A strong lease is your best pre-emptive strike against those problems.
