Similar documents: key differences

  • Lease Agreement vs. Rental Agreement — “Lease” usually means a fixed term; “rental” often refers to month-to-month occupancy.
  • Residential Lease vs. Commercial Lease — Residential leases protect tenant living arrangements; commercial leases govern business property and are more flexible.
  • Fixed-Term Lease vs. Month-to-Month Rental — Fixed-term locks in rent and duration; month-to-month offers flexibility with short notice periods.
  • Sublease vs. Assignment of Lease — Sublease keeps the original tenant responsible; an assignment transfers full rights and duties to another party.
  • Lease Option to Purchase vs. Standard Lease — A lease option lets the tenant buy the property later; a standard lease is rental-only.
  • Equipment Lease vs. Real Property Lease — Equipment leases cover personal property; real property leases cover land or buildings.

  • A lease is binding once signed and accepted by both parties.

  • Tenants gain possession rights, while landlords retain ownership.

  • Rent terms, maintenance duties, and deposit conditions should be clearly stated.

  • Local and state landlord–tenant laws set notice and eviction rules.

  • Commercial leases may allow greater flexibility in rent structure or renewal terms.

  • Subleasing often requires written consent from the landlord.

  • Keeping written records helps prevent misunderstandings or disputes later.

How to get started

  • Choose the lease form or package that fits your property or business needs.
  • Review the description, preview, and signing details.
  • Unlock full access with a subscription.

  • Export or send — download, email, mail, notarize online, or e-sign (Premium).

Practical tip

Always confirm the lease start and end dates in writing — it avoids confusion about rent, renewals, and move-out responsibilities.

FAQs

A lease usually covers a fixed period, while a rental agreement continues month-to-month.

Changes generally require written consent from both landlord and tenant.

Some states allow short-term verbal agreements, but written leases offer stronger proof and protection.

Only if the lease or landlord allows it; otherwise, written permission is needed.

The tenant may renew, move out, or continue month-to-month if both sides agree.
