Landlord friendly Washington DC Lease

[Aaron Smith]

Hi Everyone,

My brother @Joshua Smith and I will be finishing a renovation soon and looking to begin leasing up our four unit building. With Washington DC tenant laws as they are, we know it is very important to have a bulletproof lease that is written as much in favor of the landlord as possible. Where is a good place to procure this kind of lease? 

Thanks,

Aaron Smith

You know Ive been to housing court about half a dozen times and sat through 50 to 100 cases each time.  Ive only seen the judge in all that time ask to see a lease once. So i wouldnt put too much faith in a lease.
