A Residential Lease Agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and tenant that outlines the terms and conditions of rental for a residential property. It contains important details such as the length of the rental period, the amount of rent, the security deposit, and the rights and responsibilities of both parties. There are two main types of Residential Lease Agreement: a fixed-term lease and a periodic lease. A fixed-term lease is a lease that has a set start and end date, and the tenant agrees to rent the property for the duration of the lease. A periodic lease is a lease that is renewed on a periodic basis, such as a month-to-month basis, and the tenant may terminate the lease with proper notice. Both types of Residential Lease Agreement typically include other provisions such as pet policies, late payment fees, and rules for subletting.
