A residential lease agreement is a legal contract that governs the relationship between a tenant and a landlord for the rent of a property. It stipulates the duration of the tenancy, the frequency of payment, and the amount to be paid at each payment cycle. A lease agreement ensures that both parties involved are protected from one another. It protects the landlord by ensuring tenants pay their fair share of value enjoyed. Also, it protects the tenant by ensuring the landlord does not overstep their boundary.

A typical lease agreement itemizes the obligations of both the tenant and the landlord. Other contents of a standard lease agreement are stipulated below.

  • The full names of the landlord and the tenant involved in the lease agreement.
  • The full addresses of all the parties.
  • The frequency of payment.
  • The tenant’s and landlord’s obligations.
