Frequently Asked Questions
A lease is typically a fixed-term contract (often 12 months) where terms cannot easily be changed during the period. A rental agreement is usually month-to-month and more flexible for both parties.
A lease should include the names of all parties, property address, lease term, rent amount and due date, security deposit terms, maintenance responsibilities, pet policy, rules, and grounds for termination.
Yes, significantly. Each state has its own landlord-tenant laws affecting security deposit limits, required disclosures, eviction procedures, and lease terms. A lease valid in one state may not meet requirements in another.
A security deposit is money paid by the tenant at the start of a tenancy to protect the landlord against unpaid rent or property damage beyond normal wear and tear. State laws limit how much landlords can charge and how quickly they must return it.
