Tenant must give Landlord a reasonable opportunity to service or repair said item. Tenant acknowledges that rent will not be withheld unless a written notice has been served on Landlord at the appropriate location, giving Landlord a reasonable time to fix said item, and Tenant has otherwise complied with all applicable procedures required under state law. Under no circumstances may Tenant withhold rent. Reasonable notice will in no case be less than thirty (30) days but in emergency situations, Tenant will provide notice as soon as possible. Tenant may have other remedies available when Landlord fails to repair a problem that materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant. These rights include the right to repair and deduct, terminate the Agreement, and to obtain a judicial order that Landlord make the repair, reduce the rent, pay Tenant damages (including a civil penalty), and pay Tenant's court and attorney's fees.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>EXCESSIVE DAMAGE TO PREMISES.<\u002Fstrong> Excessive damage to the Premises or any of Landlord's property by Tenant, invitees, agents, or guests will be grounds for Landlord to evict Tenant. Should a portion of the Premises thereby be rendered untenantable, Landlord will have the option of either repairing such injured or damaged portion or terminating this Agreement. Should a portion of the Premises thereby be rendered unfit for occupancy, Landlord will have the option of either repairing such injured or damaged portion or terminating this Agreement.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY.<\u002Fstrong> Upon receiving notice thereof, Tenant will immediately notify Landlord of any defects, accidents, events, circumstances, conditions, or hazards on the Premises or any systems thereof that have caused, are causing, or may potentially cause injury or damage to the Premises or any person or property located therein or nearby. Tenant will notify Landlord by all instantaneous methods of communication available, including phone, email, mobile texting, fax, in person, or otherwise.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>CONSTRUCTIVE EVICTION.<\u002Fstrong> When conditions beyond Tenant's control cause the Premises to become wholly unfit for tenancy due to damage by fire, water, nuisance, or other casualty, and Landlord is responsible for remedying those conditions but does not do so within a reasonable time after notification by Tenant, Tenant may vacate the Premises, terminate this Agreement, and withhold future rent. Tenant may also choose to pay a proportionate share of the rent according to the nature and extent of the damage sustained until the Premises has been rebuilt or made fit for the purpose of carrying on Tenant's business as conducted before the event causing the Premises to be unfit. Landlord will repay Tenant a prorated amount for any rent paid in advance covering the remainder of the period that Tenant is constructively evicted.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>INSURANCE.<\u002Fstrong> It is acknowledged that, unless otherwise noted, Landlord does not maintain insurance to cover Tenant's personal property damage or loss caused by fire, theft, rain, water overflow\u002Fleakage, acts of God, and\u002For any other causes. Landlord is not responsible for any loss or damage to property owned by Tenant or Tenant's guests or invitees unless resulting from Landlord's intentional or negligent acts. Tenant must maintain any and all insurance required by law during the term of the Agreement.<\u002Fli>    <ol>              <li>It is acknowledged that Landlord highly recommends that, at a minimum, Tenant carry insurance for fire, extended coverage, and liability to cover accidental injury and damage or loss of personal property and\u002For vehicle due to fire or theft.<\u002Fli>          <\u002Fol>    <li><strong>INSURANCE POLICIES.<\u002Fstrong> Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all insurance policies required by this Agreement on the date of commencement of the term or when otherwise agreed in writing. Tenant will provide Landlord with thirty (30) days' notice of any potential cancellation or material change that is to occur in an insurance policy required to be maintained by this Agreement. Tenant may not cause, allow, or omit to do anything on the Premises or in Common Areas that increases the rate of Landlord's insurance on the Premises or causes Landlord's insurance to become subject to cancellation without prior written consent of Landlord. Without waiving the foregoing statement, upon demand by Landlord, Tenant will pay the cost of an increase in such insurance occasioned by reason of Tenant's act, allowance, or omission. Tenant will also promptly cease and remedy all activity that caused an increase in such insurance. Landlord has the right to terminate this Agreement if Tenant's act, allowance, or omission causes a cancellation of Landlord's insurance or causes Landlord's policy to become subject to cancellation. <\u002Fli>    <li><strong>ENTRY OF PREMISES.<\u002Fstrong> Landlord and Landlord's agents will have the right at all reasonable times during the term of this Agreement, and any renewal thereof, to enter the Premises for the purposes of making any inspections, repairs, or improvements as may be deemed appropriate by Landlord or required by law; to supply agreed services; in order to show it to prospective Tenants, purchasers, or lenders; to address an emergency; or as provided otherwise herein. Tenant agrees to make the Premises available to Landlord or Landlord's agents for such purposes. At all times Landlord must be provided with the keys, codes, or other items necessary for unlocking all locks and devices permitting entry. Tenant further agrees to seek permission from Landlord in writing if Tenant seeks to install any security or burglar alarm system and, if granted, to provide instructions on how to disarm such systems in case an emergency entry is required.<\u002Fli>    <ol>      <li><strong>Notice Required.<\u002Fstrong> No advance notice is required for entry if Tenant requests maintenance, repairs, or improvements. In the event that Landlord reasonably believes that an emergency exists, such as a fire or serious damage or serious danger to the continued welfare of the Premises, or reasonably believes that the Premises has been abandoned, Landlord will not be required to provide Tenant with advance notice before entering the property. In all other situations, Landlord is required to provide reasonable written notice in compliance with state law prior to entry.<\u002Fli>    <\u002Fol>    <li><strong>SUBORDINATION OF AGREEMENT.<\u002Fstrong> This Agreement and Tenant's interest hereunder are and will be subordinate, junior, and inferior to any and all mortgages, liens, or encumbrances now or hereafter placed on the Premises by Landlord.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES.<\u002Fstrong> Tenant must obtain Landlord's written consent prior to causing any work to be done on the property that could result in any lien or encumbrance on an ownership interest in the property and Tenant is responsible for paying the cost of all such work unless otherwise agreed in writing. Tenant covenants that it will not cause any liens or encumbrances on the Premises without Landlord's written consent, and will indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless against any claim, loss, or other expense that may arise out of any such materials or services rendered. If any mechanical, construction, or other liens are created or filed against the Premises by reason of labor performed or materials furnished for Tenant in the erection, construction, completion, alteration, repair, or addition to any building or improvement, Tenant will, upon demand, at Tenant's own cost and expense, cause such lien or liens to be satisfied and discharged of record together with any lien claims that may have been filed. Failure to do so will entitle Landlord to resort to such remedies as are provided herein in the case of any default of this Agreement, in addition to such as are permitted by law.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>TERMINATION; TENANT'S HOLD OVER.<\u002Fstrong> Either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this tenancy by serving the appropriate amount of notice in compliance with state law. Failure of Tenant to provide appropriate written notice to terminate this tenancy will result in Tenant's continuing obligation under this Agreement for an additional period.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>SURRENDER OF PREMISES.<\u002Fstrong> Upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, Tenant must surrender the Premises in the same state and condition as it was at the commencement of this Agreement, except that Tenant will not be responsible for damage due to reasonable wear and tear or damage by fire, the elements, casualty, or other cause not due to the misuse or neglect by Tenant or Tenant's invitees, visitors, licensees, or subtenants. Landlord may keep all abandoned property left behind by Tenant or remove such property at Tenant's expense.<\u002Fli>            <li><strong>RENT AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT.<\u002Fstrong> Landlord reserves the right to adjust the amount of the rental payments or any terms under this Agreement upon providing thirty (30) days' notice by serving Tenant with written notice by certified mail.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>QUIET ENJOYMENT.<\u002Fstrong> If Tenant remains in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Landlord covenants that Tenant will peacefully and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Premises. <strong>Note:<\u002Fstrong> Landlord promises to notify Tenant in the event that Landlord has applied for a permit to demolish the rental unit or in the event there are outstanding inspection orders, condemnation orders, foreclosure proceedings, or declarations that the property is unfit.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>INDEMNIFICATION.<\u002Fstrong> Landlord will not be liable and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to any property or any injury in or about the Premises by or from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by or arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, or contractors. Tenant will defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, or costs (including court costs and attorney's fees) incurred by reason of (a) any damage to any property or any injury occurring in, on, or about the Premises to the extent that such injury or damage is caused by or arises from any act or omission by Tenant, its agents, servants, invitees, or visitors; (b) Tenant's failure to comply with any and all governmental laws, ordinances, and regulations applicable to the condition or use of the Premises or its occupancy; or (c) any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of this Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to any claims or liability accruing prior to such termination.<\u002Fli>    <li><strong>ATTORNEY'S FEES; JURY TRIALS.<\u002Fstrong> In the event that any dispute arises between Landlord and Tenant concerning this Agreement that results in litigation, the losing Party will pay the prevailing Party's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, which will be determined by the court and made a part of any judgment.      <br>      <br>      It is acknowledged, between the Parties that jury trials significantly increase the costs of any litigation between the Parties. It is also acknowledged that jury trials require a longer length of time to adjudicate the controversy. On this basis, ALL PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY MATTER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SETTLED BY JURY TRIAL.<\u002Fli>  <\u002Fli>  <li><strong>INTEREST AND COSTS FOR NON-PERFORMANCE.<\u002Fstrong> Until all outstanding monies owed to Landlord are paid in full, Tenant will pay Landlord monthly interest and other costs associated suffered by Landlord due to Tenant's failure to pay any monies owed under this Agreement as they become due. Interest will be calculated based on the prime rate established by Landlord's bank, plus the greater of one percent (1%) per annum and the maximum rate allowed by law.<\u002Fli>  <li><strong>REIMBURSEMENT.<\u002Fstrong> If Tenant fails or refuses to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Landlord may carry out and perform such conditions at the cost and expense of Tenant, which amounts will be payable on demand to Landlord.<\u002Fli>  <li><strong>DEFAULT.<\u002Fstrong> If Landlord determines that Tenant is in default of this Agreement, Landlord will provide Tenant with the appropriate written eviction notice as specified under state law and under which Tenant may have a limited number of days to cure the default unless otherwise excepted or agreed. Tenant's sole remedy for default or failure to perform obligations under this Agreement by Landlord is rescission. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, it is a default under this Agreement if any of the following occur: bankruptcy proceedings are instituted by or against Tenant's business, a receiver or trustee is appointed to manage all or substantially all of Tenant's business estate by reason of insolvency, Tenant assigns all or substantially all of Tenant's business estate for the benefit of its creditors, or Tenant prematurely vacates or abandons the Premises.<\u002Fli>  <li><strong>NON-WAIVER OF RIGHTS.<\u002Fstrong> Landlord's failure to require compliance with the conditions of this Agreement, or to exercise any right provided herein, will not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of such condition or right. Landlord's acceptance of rent with knowledge of any default under agreement by Tenant will not be deemed a waiver of such default, nor will it limit Landlord's rights with respect to that or any subsequent right. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Tenant's goods, equipment, Fixtures, or other chattels on the Premises are exempt from levy by Landlord's distress. Tenant hereby waives all rights of redemption and relief from forfeiture under law or equity now or hereafter existing that may result from Landlord's exercise of its right of distress.<\u002Fli>  <li><strong>EXTENDED ABSENCE.<\u002Fstrong> Tenant must notify Landlord of an anticipated extended absence from the Premises that will be in excess of seven (7) days; however, the notice may be given as soon as reasonably possible after Tenant knows the absence will exceed seven (7) days.<\u002Fli>  <li><strong>ABANDONMENT; EVICTION.<\u002Fstrong> If at any time during the term of this Agreement, Tenant abandons the Premises or any part thereof, or if Tenant is evicted, Tenant will remain liable for any loss of rent for the remainder of the rental term, and Landlord may, at Landlord's option, obtain possession of the Premises in the manner provided by law without becoming liable to Tenant for damages or for any payment of any kind whatsoever.

This form contains everything you need to quickly and effectively execute a strong agreement. The following instructions provide an overview of some of the key provisions of the agreement.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Fixed-Term vs. Periodic Tenancy<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>When completing the agreement, you will be given the choice between creating a fixed-term or a periodic tenancy agreement. A fixed-term tenancy is simply a tenancy agreement that states that it will end on a specific date in the future, usually about six months or a year from the start of the tenancy. A periodic tenancy has no set end date and usually continues from month to month until one of the parties chooses to terminate the tenancy. Periodic tenancies are less common for commercial properties.<\u002Fp><p>Many states provide fixed-term Tenants different rights than periodic Tenants. This most commonly impacts the Tenant's rights upon <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Farticle-center\u002Flease-agreement\u002Fwhat-happens-when-you-need-to-break-your-lease" target="_blank">terminating the agreement<\u002Fa> or being evicted. The proper procedure for canceling a fixed-term or periodic tenancy depends on the terms of the agreement and state law. If you choose to create a fixed-term tenancy, this agreement states that the Tenant must provide 30 days' notice of his or her intent not to renew the agreement when it expires.<\u002Fp><p>For fixed-term tenancies, the agreement will automatically expire at the end of the term. If the Tenant holds over by staying on the premises and the Landlord does not notify the Tenant to vacate the unit when the agreement ends, then the agreement will convert to a periodic tenancy and continue on a <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Farticle-center\u002Fmonth-to-month-leases\u002Fthe-benefits-of-a-month-to-month-lease" target="_blank">month-to-month basis<\u002Fa> until terminated.<\u002Fp><p>If you choose a periodic tenancy, then either the Landlord or the Tenant may terminate the agreement by serving the appropriate amount of notice in compliance with state law, which is usually 30 days' notice.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Rental Payments<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>This section of your agreement sets out how often rental payments are due. A monthly payment structure is most common. However, you may also choose for rent to be paid weekly, twice per month, every two months, every six months, or once per year.<\u002Fp><p>When specifying the location to where the Tenant must make payments, you may add multiple locations as a convenience to the Tenant. You may also provide the details for any online payment portal in this section. The same applies when identifying the accepted payment methods. You may allow the Tenant to pay via check, cash, direct deposit, wire transfer, credit card\u002Fdebit card, money order, cashier's check, online, or all of the above. You may also add custom payment methods.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Property Taxes and Other Expenses<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>The agreement allows you to specify whether the tenant is responsible for paying property taxes, building insurance, and maintenance costs. If you select "None of the above," the tenant will not be responsible for these but will still be required to pay any sales or use taxes that could be assessed against the property unless the parties agree otherwise.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Security Deposit<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>Even in the absence of a security deposit, Tenants are still required to pay for any damage they cause to the property. However, it is recommended that the Landlord always require Tenants to pay an upfront security deposit equal to at least one month's rent. This will help ensure that the Tenant pays for any damage discovered by the Landlord at the end of the tenancy and helps avoid costly litigation that would be required to enforce the Agreement in court.<\u002Fp><p>The Landlord may use the security deposit to repair any damage the Tenant causes beyond normal wear and tear to the Premises, the Common Areas, and any furnishings provided by the Landlord. "Normal wear and tear" means deterioration that occurs when the Premises, or any furnishings provided, are used as intended, without negligence or abuse by the Tenant or any of the Tenant's guests or subtenants (if permitted).<\u002Fp><p>Lastly, the agreement spells out specific requirements that the Tenant must follow in order to have all or part of the <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Farticle-center\u002Flandlord-and-tenant\u002Fhow-to-protect-a-security-deposit" target="_blank">security deposit returned<\u002Fa>. Such requirements include the following:<\u002Fp><ul>  <li>The full term of the agreement has ended or the agreement has been properly terminated according to its terms<\u002Fli>  <li>All rent and outstanding fees or charges have been paid by the Tenant<\u002Fli>  <li>All utility bills are paid in full<\u002Fli>  <li>All keys and other items belonging to the Landlord have been returned<\u002Fli>  <li>All of the Tenant's <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Farticle-center\u002Fnotice-to-quit\u002Fcan-you-sell-items-left-behind-by-a-tenant" target="_blank">personal property has been removed<\u002Fa><\u002Fli>  <li>The unit has been thoroughly cleaned<\u002Fli><\u002Ful><p><strong>Subletting<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>The Tenant may not <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Fguides\u002Fshould-you-consider-the-sublease-contract" target="_blank">sublet<\u002Fa> the property to other occupants without the prior written consent of the Landlord. Doing so is grounds for the Landlord to terminate the agreement and <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Farticle-center\u002Fnotice-to-quit\u002F3-fundamental-eviction-rules" target="_blank">pursue eviction<\u002Fa>.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Lead-Based Paint Disclosures<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>For properties built before 1978 (i.e. pre-1978 property), federal law requires that the Landlord and Tenant (and their agents) sign a "Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint," which is included for you. Landlords must keep the signed copy of the "Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint" for at least three years as compliance with the rules. Tenants must also receive the federally approved lead hazard information pamphlet "<a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.epa.gov\u002Fsites\u002Fproduction\u002Ffiles\u002F2020-04\u002Fdocuments\u002Flead-in-your-home-portrait-color-2020-508.pdf" target="_blank">Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home<\u002Fa>" or a similar pamphlet approved for use in your state by the Environmental Protection Agency.<\u002Fp><p><strong>State and Local Disclosure Requirements<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>Often, state and local law have <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Fguides\u002Fdisclosures-that-landlords-must-make-to-new-tenants" target="_blank">disclosure requirements<\u002Fa> that need to be disclosed before or at the signing of the <a href="https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Fguides\u002Flease-agreement-vs-rental-agreement" target="_blank">rental or lease agreement<\u002Fa> (note that some of the required disclosures listed here only apply to residential units). Landlords are often required to disclose serious problems that affect the rental unit's fitness for tenancy, any code violations, mold or flood zone warnings, radon warnings, carbon monoxide and asbestos disclosures, the presence of a methamphetamine laboratory or a flood at the unit prior to the Tenant's occupancy, whether the property is located in a military zone, and local rent control rules. When in doubt, it is always best to disclose these and similar issues. Especially if the property is covered by rent control, make sure to research local regulations for required disclosures. These can normally be found on your city or county website or by contacting the office of your mayor, city manager, county administrator, or a locally licensed attorney.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Final Steps<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>Once finished completing the agreement, simply have all parties sign and date where indicated.

commercial lease agreement leads the industry in providing landlords with outstanding protection and flexibility to customize the agreement according to their needs. Use this help guide to review the key considerations when creating this agreement.","\u003Ch4>Fixed-Term vs. Periodic Tenancy\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>The length of the agreement will depend on whether you want a fixed or periodic tenancy. Fixed-term tenancies are those that end on a specific date stated in the agreement, while periodic tenancies will continue to automatically renew each successive period until one or both of the parties choose to end the tenancy. Periodic tenancies are normally on a month-to-month basis, but they may also be renewed weekly or annually. Commercial lease agreements typically use a fixed-term tenancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fixed-term and periodic tenants often have different rights under state law. This typically affects the tenant’s rights at the termination of the agreement or upon eviction. Always be aware of the relevant state law and terms in your lease agreement regarding the proper procedure for providing notice of terminating the agreement, ending the tenancy, and returning any deposits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under a fixed-term tenancy, our agreement states that the tenancy will automatically end unless the parties agree to renew the lease. If the tenant remains in possession of the premises with the landlord’s consent but without signing a new lease, the tenancy will convert to a month-to-month tenancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For periodic tenancies, our agreement simply allows either party to terminate the tenancy by providing the appropriate advance notice according to state law, which is typically 30 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Rental Payments\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Next, you will select the payment frequency for rental payments. Parties normally select monthly rental payments, but you could also choose weekly, twice per month, every two months, every six months, or once per year. LegalNature's agreement offers you unparalleled payment flexibility by allowing you to choose between a simple fixed-rent structure or a more sophisticated escalated rent arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indicate where the tenant may make rental payments. This could be in person, at a specific address, online, or another location. Also, specify the accepted payment methods, such as by check, direct deposit, cash, wire transfer, money order, credit card\u002Fdebit card, cashier's check, online, or another method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Signing Incentives\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Many landlords offer signing incentives as a way to encourage prospective tenants to sign more favorable—usually long-term—leases. For example, you can offer a rent concession, such as the first month free, or similar benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Optional Fees and Deposits\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>You must include the details regarding any fees or deposits. A “deposit” is money that must be returned to the tenant if no damages occur. Therefore, a landlord is only allowed to keep the portion of a deposit that is used to cover damages that do, in fact, occur. For instance, a security deposit must be returned to the tenant if the tenant does not cause damage to the unit. The same applies with a pet deposit if the pet does not cause damage. In the event of a dispute, landlords must document damages in order to prove that they occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, a “fee” is a one-way payment to the landlord for violating the lease agreement. Examples include a fee for a late rental payment, dishonored payments (e.g. a “bounced” check caused by non-sufficient funds), or a lost key. LegalNature’s agreement will include standard language, giving the landlord the right to collect these fees should you choose to include them. You will also have the option of including your own custom fees or deposits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Security Deposit\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>While tenants are responsible for paying the cost of repairing damages to the unit regardless of whether the landlord collects a security deposit, it is still always recommended that landlords collect one. This will ensure that there are funds on hand to repair any damages to the unit that the tenant causes and will avoid the difficulty of trying to recover money from the tenant when they are moving out. LegalNature's agreement provides state-specific guidance, allowing you to confidently set a legally compliant security deposit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The funds from the security deposit may be used for any damages that occur beyond the normal wear and tear to the premises, common areas, and any furnishings that the landlord provides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, the lease agreement lists the following requirements that the tenant must meet in order to have part or all of their security deposit returned at the termination of the lease:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>The term of the lease has ended or has been terminated properly\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>The tenant has paid all monies owed, including any outstanding fees and utilities bills\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>The tenant has returned all keys and other property belonging to the landlord\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>The tenant has removed all of their personal property from the unit\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>The tenant has thoroughly cleaned the unit\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch4>Additional Services\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Many landlords offer additional services to attract potential tenants. These services, or amenities, can be anything from access to an emergency power generator to security or accounting services. By providing a detailed description of any additional benefits in the lease, both the landlord and tenant have clear and unambiguous expectations of each other. This results in an agreement that provides a stable legal foundation for any tenantship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Property Taxes and Other Expenses\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>The agreement allows you to specify whether the tenant is responsible for paying property taxes, building insurance, and maintenance costs. If you select \"None of the above,\" the tenant will not be responsible for these but will still be required to pay any sales or use taxes that could be assessed against the property unless the parties agree otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Substitute Tenants\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>You may choose to allow the tenant to be released from their obligations under the lease in the event that an acceptable substitute tenant is located. The landlord will still be free to refuse any substitute tenants that it does not like. Also, any substitute tenant may be required to sign a new lease on different terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Subletting\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Tenants will be prohibited from subletting the unit to a subtenant without first obtaining the landlord’s prior written consent. A “subtenant” is a new tenant who agrees to take over the lease for part or all of the remaining term. Tenants who attempt to sublet without permission may be evicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Guarantors (Co-Signers)\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Guarantors are often needed when prospective tenants have poor credit. If a guarantor co-signs the agreement, the guarantor will be liable for any and all debts that may arise under the agreement. This is a smart way for landlords to protect themselves from potentially bad situations that arise when tenants fail to pay rent or cause damage to the property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>State and Federal Disclosure Requirements\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>If the property was constructed prior to 1978, then federal law requires that the landlord and tenant sign a \"Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint,\" which is attached to your download. Retain the signed copy for at least three years for your records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Local law may require that the landlord make additional disclosures not included in the lease agreement. For example, you may be required to notify the tenant of any serious problems affecting the unit’s fitness for occupancy, building code violations, or flood zone warnings. Landlords are responsible for researching and being familiar with their local rental disclosure laws. Often, you can find these listed on your city or county websites. If you are in doubt about a particular disclosure, it is always best to include it to be on the safe side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Move-In\u002FMove-Out Inspection Checklists\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Your agreement will include an attached Move-In\u002FMove-Out Inspection Checklist. This helps the landlord document any damage present when the tenant moves in and compare any damage present upon move-out. Landlords in all states are recommended to complete this in order to prevent disputes. However, landlords MUST complete move-in checklists in the following states:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Arizona (tenants also have the right to be present at a move-out inspection)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Georgia\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Hawaii (tenants also have the right to be present at a move-out inspection)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Kansas (completed jointly within five days of move-in)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Kentucky (completed jointly)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Maryland\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Massachusetts (only required if the landlord collects a security deposit)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Michigan\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Montana (only required if the landlord collects a security deposit)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Nevada\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>New Hampshire\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>North Dakota\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Virginia (completed within five days of move-in by the landlord or tenant or both together, and the landlord must disclose within this report the known presence of mold)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Washington (only required if the landlord collects a security deposit)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Wisconsin (the tenant has a right to inspect the rental unit, give the landlord a list of defects, and receive a list of damages charged to the prior tenant)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch4>Final Steps\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>After completing our questionnaire, have the landlord and tenant sign and date the agreement.

The purpose of the contract is to provide a property for the tenant from which to run a business. It involves the sale of goods or services or provides a place to manufacture a product. The rental space is not designed to provide a place to live, and it is often against local or state law (or the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Fcategories\u002Flandlord-and-tenant\u002Flease-agreement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">lease agreement\u003C\u002Fa>) to reside in a commercial space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Residential renters have a lot more protections compared to commercial renters.
