Landlording Kit(s)

[Carole M.]

Several years ago I purchased a "Landlording Kit" by Socrates.com from an office supply store. This Forms Kit came with a User Manual with 21 forms and a CD with other forms. This was invaluable and I used many of the forms, including Pet Agreement, Rental Credit Application, Security Deposit Receipt, Tenant Information Sheet, Lead Paint Disclosure, Garage/Parking Space Lease Agreement etc. An Illinois approved Residental Lease was included, but many municipalities, including City of Chicago require their own approved lease form, so checking with your local municipality is important. These kits/forms are also available Online and are listed by state.

Any and all suggestions that others have for new landlords, would be greatly appreciated.
