Sample Written Lease Agreement Template

To be legal, the lease must be dated and signed by both the landlord and the tenant. You are entitled to a copy of the lease. The typical lease includes name of all parties, the length of time that you will live in the apartment, how much rent is owed and on what day, if pets are allowed, how to notify the landlord for repairs, the deposit amount and notice of moving out.

The main rules to remember:

1. Read the lease before signing it. This saves you from nasty surprises later on.

2.  Be sure all blanks are filled in properly.

3. A printed lease can be altered, if all parties agree to it and initial and date the changes.

4. A printed lease can be added to, in writing, above the signatures, if initialed. A separate piece of paper for additions can be used if everyone signs and dates it.

Special Note: Almost all written leases have a clause that says no oral agreements are valid. This means that oral promise of a new carpet cannot be enforced unless it is put in writing. Always consult an attorney first.
