Rental Lease Application

The short answer is yes. Handwritten contracts are slightly impractical when you could just type them up, but they are completely legal if written properly. In fact, they're even preferable to verbal contracts in many ways.

As long as the contract spells out specific details and both parties have signed that they agree to the contract's terms, a handwritten contract is legally binding and enforceable in court.

The lease agreement or contract offered by the landlord once the application has been approved is a legally binding document. It becomes legally binding once it is signed by the applicants and landlord.It also explains what items the landlord is responsible for and what the tenants are responsible for.

Terms. The lease should state the length of the agreement. Rent. The amount of rent and when it is due. Deposits and fees. The names of all tenants. Occupancy limits. Restrictions on disruptive activity. Pets. Maintenance and repairs.
