Lease Agreement FAQ

What is a lease agreement?

A legally binding contract between a landlord and tenant that outlines the terms for renting a property — rent amount, duration, security deposit, maintenance responsibilities, and occupancy rules.

What's the difference between a lease and a rental agreement?

A lease is typically a fixed-term agreement (usually 12 months). A rental agreement is often month-to-month. Both are binding, but leases lock in terms while rental agreements can change with proper notice.

Can I create leases for multiple properties?

Yes. Use dynamic fields and upload a spreadsheet to generate personalized leases for each property and tenant — whether you manage 5 units or 500.

Do I need a lawyer to create a lease?

Not necessarily, but it's recommended to have one reviewed, especially your first. Landlord-tenant laws vary by state and city. Use a professional template as your starting point.
