In today’s digital age, it only takes a few clicks of the keyboard to get a selection of search results where you can find a lease agreement to print off and use with future tenants of your property. While these are binding contracts and great starting points, nothing quite beats an official lease agreement created with your specific interests in mind. A generic lease that you pull of off the internet could potentially leave you vulnerable in the future. Getting that lease reviewed by a real estate attorney can help protect you and put your best interests first. Having a lease prepared by a real estate lawyer can help ensure that you have a customized lease that meets your needs, the needs of the property, and the needs of your tenants. Getting accurate legal advice is key to being a successful landlord, and for tenants, having a successful rental experience.
Preparation And Review Of Lease Agreements
Visiting with a real estate attorney prior to leasing your property has many advantages:
- Avoids blunders of he said, she said contracts that were formed over a handshake. You’ll have a binding legal document that clearly states the expectations for both parties so you have a backup in any legal disputes.
- Creates a unique contract that protects your specific interests. Not all properties, renters, landlords, or leasing terms are the same, so your leasing agreement shouldn’t be, either.
- Adds necessary details based on your specific situation. One-size-fits-all lease agreements can leave you vulnerable to legal action.
- Ensures the lease agreement is factual and accurate. You know you can’t trust everything that you read on the internet, so why would you assume a generic lease that you find online is truthful? It might be, but it should be reviewed by a real estate lawyer to verify its accuracy.
A lease agreement can meet your requirements as the landlord as well as include specifications to meet the lender’s requirements if they exist. Moreover, a unique agreement can account for any property management clauses, as well as properly explain when the official renting period begins and ends. A lease should protect both you and your tenants and lay out expectations and requirements for both of you during the tenancy. Getting legal advice, both as a renter and a landlord, will avoid disputes and ensure that all parties are happy with the arrangement.
