What are good clauses to include in lease agreement?
Hello everyone, I will be a new landlord soon (closing soon) of a 2 unit building. I would like to know what items I should include in a smart lease agreement that makes my life easier. I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you!

There are way too many to cover and what is important for my market may not be important for yours. In fact, some of the clauses I use wouldn't even stand up in court in other states.
You can get samples of leases with a google search ("lease agreement Wyoming"). Find a dozen or so from different states and at least three from professional managers in your state. Then read your state law to see how it fits. After you have a good foundational understanding, come back to BP or consult an attorney to deal with specifics.
