Lease Agreement Template

 We recognize that your contract layout conditions may need to be changed to be in line together with your client’s needs. That’s why we have made Contract in Word format as well so  that you’ll be able make adjustments as you like. If you want to make important changes to the template, we propose you to get help of  a lawyer or conveyancer to make sure you still have protection.

The major difference between lease and rental agreement is that a lease lasts for 6-12 months but a rental agreement is signed only for 30 days. When a tenant wants to get a rented place, he may sign a lease agreement or a rental agreement. A lease agreement provides a fixed duration of 6-12 months to a tenant to get hold of a property. On the contrary, the rental agreements are signed on a monthly basis between the tenant and the landlord.

The lease agreement can be short as on one page or can be ten pages long. It can be typed or handwritten. It can be written on the lease templates or a newly designed template. The requirements may vary from each lease but a few of the basic and legal requirements are:

1. Details of security deposit
2. Disclosure of the owner
3. Maintenance 
4. Liabilities
