7 Best Practices When Drafting Simple Agreements Start with a clear statement of purpose. Define key terms and definitions. Use clear and concise language. Include dispute resolution provisions. Consider the potential consequences of the breach. Include termination and renewal provisions. Use a standard contract template.
Here's a list of standard fields that you should include in your lease agreement: Tenant information. Include each tenant's full name and contact information. Rental property description. Security deposit. Monthly rent amount. Utilities. Lease term. Policies. Late fees.
Gross office leases Also known as a full service lease, a gross lease includes almost everything in the monthly rent including utilities, janitorial service, and building operating expenses.
If no time frame is established in the rental agreement, the agreement becomes a month-to-month agreement. A.R.S. § 33-1314(D). To terminate a month-to-month rental agreement, a landlord or a tenant must give 30 days notice in writing before the next rent payment would normally be due.
Also, a landlord must make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the rental premises in a fit and habitable condition. Cure of any such noncompliances are the landlord's sole responsibility, and cannot be delegated to the renter. See A.R.S. § 33-1324.
There is no law regulating what kind of advance notice, if any, is required to stay on or vacate when the lease ends. On occasion a lease will state that it automatically renews unless either party gives notice otherwise. More frequently, a 30-day or 60-day notice must be provided by one party to the other.
