Why it matters

Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, a well-written lease agreement protects you in many ways. And in some circumstances, a written lease agreement is required by law.

All sorts of things can go wrong in a landlord/tenant relationship. Late rent payment, damage to the house, differing expectations about the lease’s end date or renewal terms, what happens to the security deposit, what happens when rent increases, and a tenant’s refusal to move out are just a few examples.

The best way to prevent these disputes, and deal with them if they arise, is to have a well-written residential lease agreement.
