I'm looking for a lease template -- Please share

I am looking for a lease for a SFH whereby the tenant is responsible for tenant activities (such as you clog a toilet or break a door or window, you fix it or you pay to fix it), but I am responsible for landlord stuff (broken water heater, etc.). If you have an "iron clad" lease that you wish to share, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I am closing on two properties soon and they do not have leases in place.

I apologize, I searched the forums and was unable to find a copy of a lease.  Maybe my search skills are not great or maybe the term lease appears just too often.

Quote from @Joe Tomko:

There's no such thing as an "iron clad" contract. BiggerPockets sells a Landlord Agreement Package under the TOOLS menu at the top of your screen. Written by investors, attorney approved for every state, and only $100 which is much cheaper than the monstrosity of legal jargon you'll get from most attorneys.

I also recommend you buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO. Written by attorney investors, it's full of practical advice pertaining to management of investment property, has sample forms that can be edited, and - most importantly - they tell you what your primary state laws are and where you can read them. It's updated every year and is the best $40 you'll spend as a Landlord. There is one book for 49 states and a separate book for California.
