Carlos - Thanks for taking the lead on this . . . hopefully we can get a wide assortment of sample leads uploaded to the BiggerPockets FilePlace so our members can compare, contrast, get ideas, and so on.

I offered to combine/categorize the sections within the lease contracts to make it easier compare, but if you prefer everyone just upload to fileplace that's less work for me.

NC, like other states, provide what Iwould call "standard" sample leases that are publicly available. I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but in NC the standard Residential Rental Contract is available from the NC Association of Realtors. Note that I am not a member, but they provide sample forms for the public to view.

Josh - sounds good.
Chris - We have similar Realtor contracts in Texas. Those contracts tend to fall short when it comes to protecting the landlord. An example can be found in my blog where I discuss one such issue in the standard Texas Guarantor form. I've only been on this board since August. In that short time, I have seen several situations where people say their lease was missing a critical clause or it could have been worded better. What I am really looking for is the rewrites and mods...the improvements to the standard forms.
Bryan - Thanks, Bryan. I'll send you an email or you can just post on filepalce as Josh suggested.
