Most generic leases are just that, "generic".They get the job done, but not done well.You don't seem to want to spend a lot of time on this, something that is critical to running your rental business properly.We recommend downloading 3-5 state-specific leases from various sources, then spend the weekend going through them to:1) UNDERSTAND why everything is in them.2) Copy & paste the paragraphs you like (once you understand them)3) Continue to "tweak" as necessary to meet your concerns & goals.4) Have an attorney review to confirm meets all federal, state & local requirements and there's nothing illegal or compromising in it.Good luck!
