Writing A Rental Lease Agreement - 3 Things You Should Not Forget To Include
With the help of a rental agreement you can easily specify various important things about a property that you are giving out on lease to a tenant - such as rental fees, mode of payment, lease duration etc.
While writing such a contract, it is important for you to include some important things that have a lot of significance in your rental relationship with your tenant. In order to safeguard your own interest as a landlord these are three important things that you must include in a rental agreement in California form.
Pet policy
If you hate pets or have some reservations about allowing some kinds of pets, you have to mention it properly in your rental agreement. Write down about the type of pets and the number of pets that you would allow in your rental property. It is also important to write down what kind of penalties you can expect the tenant to pay if there is any damage to your property due to some activity of the pet kept by him / her.
Types of activities
There have been many instances where landlords were shocked to see their tenants indulging in various activities that have brought a bad name to them and the neighborhood. These include hateful speeches, black magic, group orgies and other rituals.
It is important for you to mention at the outset that you would not tolerate these types of activities within your rental property premises. Do it in writing, through your rental agreement. You can find rental lease agreement PDF documents online, to use as template, while writing such a contract.
Entry policy
You should also write down about your right of entry to the rental property as a landlord; at what times you can enter the premises and so on.
Making a clear mention of these things at the very outset can go a long way to prevent arguments and confusion on both ends, and ensure a smoother relationship between the two of you, as a landlord and tenant. If everything goes off well, you might also like to renew the contract and have the same tenant live in your property for a longer duration.
