FAQ
Used to settle claims over damages to an apartment without filing or pursuing court action, this release documents the identities of the Releasor (apartment owner) and Releasee (tenant), describes the alleged damages and charges, records the agreed payment, and includes a release of any future claims related to those damages once signed.
If the tenant disputes the charges but agrees on an amount, signing the release finalizes a settlement without a lawsuit. The tenant typically pays the agreed sum and, in return, releases the landlord from further claims related to the described damages after payment.
