Common questions

Does a lease have to be in writing?

In many places a short tenancy can be verbal, but a written lease is much easier to enforce and longer leases often must be written and sometimes registered or stamped. Check the rule for your jurisdiction.

Can I use this for a commercial property?

No. Commercial leases deal with things like service charges, fit-out and assignment differently. Choose the commercial lease document instead.

How much does the Residential Lease Agreement cost?

$2 for one document, or $9 a month for 10 documents of any type.
