Even if your state doesn't technically require your rental leases in writing, it makes your life easier to create a legal contract with the tenant. This includes situations where you rent a property to friends or family members.
When details such as the rent amount, rent date and property rules are clearly written, misunderstandings or disagreements are less common. Considering how easy creating lease agreements is with PDFSimpli, there's no excuse not to.
PDFSimpli's professional templates take care of most of the work for you, but it's still important to make sure the terms match your needs. State the rent amount and payment details, as well as the rules for the property.
You also need to spell out the length of the rental agreement and dates for moving in and moving out. Many rental agreements last a year, but some are only for month-to-month leases.
The rules around leasing vary by state, but it's generally a good idea to give tenants a copy of the signed and dated lease agreement. You should always save one for your records as well.
PDFSimpli has a time-saving and secure Send for E-Signature Tool that allows you to request an electronic signature for the finished contract right away. You decide who gets a copy, and you can easily store the document digitally.
