Synopsis
Almost 1/3 of all U.S. housing is rented, and the number of small-scale residential landlords is growing as more and more people choose to invest in real estate rather than the risky stock market while others, unable to sell their homes at decent prices, opt to rent them out instead. To protect their investments and avoid legal hassles, these new rental property owners need a legally enforceable lease.Leases & Rental Agreements is an affordable solution, providing 50-state law charts along with a CD-ROM enabling landlords or property managers in any state to create a legal lease and other key rental documents tailored to their properties.With this bestselling guide, you'll learn how to: • prepare a rental agreement or lease • tailor your documents to meet your needs • make required disclosures • comply with you state's laws on security deposits, privacy rules, discrimination and more • check tenant references and credit • do a final inspection when a tenant moves out The 8th edition provides updated 50-state legal charts on security deposits, rent rules and access to rental property, plus a comprehensive new chart of required state law disclosures.
