Isn’t it true that often the most important information is overlooked and forgotten?
Don’t fall into this trap of forgetting the basics.
Nine out of ten times an attorney can get his or her client out of a contract because the agreement has been incorrectly signed or there is information missing which renders the agreement invalid due to its absence. We would love to assist you by drafting your agreement or checking it once completed to ensure that it is watertight.
FOR EXAMPLE: When renting out one of your properties to a tenant you are required to complete a lease or rental agreement which sets out the rules which the landlord and tenant agree on. While many landlords choose to rent out their property through an agent, others opt to handle renting out their property themselves. These Landlords generally make use of rental/lease agreements from either the internet or a stationery supplier. These pre-printed or generic lease agreements can work well provided they are completed correctly, unfortunately many landlords don’t have the knowledge to ensure that these agreements cover all the important items required to cover them should it be necessary.
Here are some of the most important items to be covered in your lease or rental agreement.
- Name of all tenants
- Limits of occupancy
- Terms of tenancy
- Rent
- Deposits and fees
- Repairs and maintenance
- Entry to rental property
- Restrictions on tenant illegal activity
- Pets
- Other restrictions
