Whether you're providing a paper or online application, a basic rental application form might include: Personal information. Household information. Residential history. Employment and income. Background information. Disclosure. Signature and completion date.
Use the form to write down everything found wrong with the rental unit when you move in. Be sure to list even very small “damages,” for example, the number of nail holes in each wall, dents in the kitchen floor, or chipped paint on the baseboards.
When creating a one-page lease agreement, include sections covering the following: Involved parties. Property details. Lease terms, such as length, type, monthly rent, deposit. Conditions of property use. Details about utilities. Included furnishings. Repair and damages policy. Termination conditions.

Of course you can make up your own lease agreement and I would advise you to think of every conceivable eventuality and make sure that anyone signing it reads it so they know what it says and agrees before they sign it.
