I was literally searching for this, I get letters and calls all the time on my properties. I'm glad that people are hungry but man it's turned super annoying. I feel her pain. My wife is going insane as her phone rings all the time as well

Hello,
We are going to be renting out a house in California, we are looking for example lease agreements that we can potentially tailor to what we need. Anyone have one or a good place to get one?
We have plants onsite, can you put maintain the yard in the lease?

Originally posted by @Jill F.:
In Ohio, anything that contains the word 'deposit' is risky, since deposits are generally to be returned. We charge a non-refundable reservation fee = to 1/2 month's rent and will hold a unit for up to 15 days before lease start. The reservation fee is applied to the first month's rent at lease execution. We collect all money prior to move-in in cash. I jump up and down about non-refundable when I collect the NON-REFUNDABLE reservation fee -- we also have the prospective tenant sign a reservation form that clearly specifies the nature of the payment.
you wouldn't be able to upload verbage for that would you?? :)

a receipt for the security deposit wouldn't qualify as a deposit to hold right, as there is no legal verbage?

Have in interesting scenario. Put the property on the market for rental, did an open house, found some renters that we liked. Took it off market. They submitted their security deposit, but have not signed the rental agreement. Now they have to move out of state. Can I keep any of the security deposit since it's been a week that I missed while this is happening? I'm a bit agitated because we cancelled an open house.
