Tips & Warnings
The landlord and tenant have the right to negotiate and change the terms of a pre-printed lease as allowable by the state law. Many legal forms websites will allow you to get some free forms online, or build a free version. However, you may have to pay a fee to use the unrestricted version of the lease. At Ez Landlord Forms, if needed, you'll be prompted to install a free Adobe reader plug in to download the free lease form. If you have issues with the plug in, you can click on the "download to computer" button instead.
If you have no experience as a landlord or with legal forms, it may be best to consult with an attorney to create a residential lease to fully protect your rights as a landlord.
