Things to Include in you Lease
Good Morning BP Members,
I am currently making my first lease for my rental property. I wanted to get some input on things to include in the lease and get everyone's thoughts on other things they might include as well. below is a list of general things i have already included
1.address rented
2.dates of lease
3. Payment (due date, type accepted, location accepted, late fees, returned check fees, security deposits, utilities)
4. no sub letting
5. maintenance
6. no repairs and alterations without consent
7. violating laws and disturbances
8.pets
9. landlord's right to access
10. extended absences by tennant
11. possession of the premises
12. rules and regs
13. payment for court costs if necessary
14. disclosures if any exist
15. accepting legal papers
16. validity
17. grounds for termination
I've read on here about people including things like rent goes up 3% annually on renewal in their tenant's lease. Is there any other good things i am missing that you guys would recommend or anything you discovered worthwhile to include.
thanks in advance
