What this document creates

A complete residential lease agreement between a landlord and a tenant, tailored to your answers. It sets out who is renting, the property, the term, and every important money and responsibility term — then adds a move-in condition checklist so both sides start on the same page.

Who it is for

Private landlords and property owners renting a home, apartment, condo, or room to a residential tenant. It is designed for non-lawyers who want a professional, understandable lease without a law-firm bill.
