Hi all,
I'm a first time landlord.
I was wondering if others have a "holding agreement" they use to hold the unit prior to a tenant signing the lease. If so, how'd you create or obtain the agreement? (I'm not seeing any sample templates online). And if so, what do you charge to hold the unit and how long after do you request lease signing?
Since I only have one unit, I'm thinking I may skip the holding agreement part altogether and just require the potential tenant to sign the lease (and then pay the security deposit within 24 hours) through the online portal payment system I have set up via Apartments.com...any general thoughts or suggestions for this process?
