Renting house for a tenant on behalf of his company

[Michael LaBaie]

Hi all,

I used to rent my home on Airbnb and recently received a request from someone interested in renting my house. However, this person is requesting the rental on behalf of his company. (it’s a legit company). the rent is for 8 month and it's all furnished and I wiil cover the utilities myself.

Can I use the same Residential Lease Form for an individual and a company?

I would like to send the lease agreement, but I want to ensure that I am considering all necessary factors.

My questions are:

• Do I need to use a different type of lease agreement?
• The company is paying by check (for insurance purposes), is it common?
• Do they need to obtain a renters insurance to protect their personal property.
• Do I need a proof of insurance from them.
• How do I make sure the company is liable for any damages?

Thank you in advance.
