In California the lease agreement is key. I also have specific addenda that I include as well as a keysafe and sign authorization (for when they give notice), lead paint disclosure and mold disclosures. I also disclose that I'm an agent.
I'd recommend checking with your state's association. They may have a list of required disclosures on their website.

If it is based on an average per square foot for all sales, it could bounce about.
Chris, if memory serves they use public records, published sales and a few other metrics. If the MLS for the area provides them with data (many don't and won't ) then they have that as well. Saw an explanation from a zillow employee on a facebook group several months back. Sadly, I don't recall the specifics.

In California, there are already several forms and agreements created by the state's realtor association. Non-realtors can buy them from their site apparently (I'm a realtor so I get them as part of my state dues).
