Looking for good Lease Templates

[Preston C.]

I've tried to search this on the forums and most of the posts seem pretty outdated. I've been a landlord for 4 years now, but recently bought a couple new properties. I've always used templates online for my leases, but have found that they're sometimes too broad on certain things. (Currently using one from eforms.com) It actually doesn't seem that bad, just needs some things added to it.

I'm sure there are better state specific templates out there, and I understand I should probably have it checked by a lawyer as I've read in several other posts. Just looking for suggestions on what other self managing landlords are using.

When you say you searched here do you mean the ones you buy for ~100?  Go to tools then lease agreement packages.   I have never used them but many here love them.  I prefer to ask my local lawyer who specializes in landlord/tenant law and has leases that they used for decades on thousands of cases and they have been changed and massaged for local rules.
