Some of the most common landlord-tenant law forms include rental agreements and lease templates, rent increase notices, pet or non-smoking policy agreements, move-out checklists and tenant screening forms.
Not all of these forms are legally required, but the more details you have in writing, the easier it is to avoid misunderstandings with potential tenants. PDFSimpli's huge template library makes it easy to find a range of tenant law forms.
Every state has different rules for landlords and tenants. That's why PDFSimpli has many state-specific templates. It's important to follow your state and local laws when it comes to matters such as eviction, contracts, subleasing and rental policies.
The rules around evictions vary significantly by state. Landlords can only start eviction proceedings for certain situations, such as unpaid rent, damage to the property or serious lease violations.
The first step is to send an eviction notice. Generally, landlords have to give the tenant at least three days to move out.
If the tenant refuses, a court order may be necessary. Always save signed landlord-tenant law forms as evidence for court.
