Best Place To Find Renter Application Form and Lease Agreement???

Won Lee

Posted

Hi, 

I just closed on my 1st rental home and will close on 2nd rental in 3 weeks.

Where is the best place to buy/download a good rental application form?(I didn't like some of the wording on the free one from BP).

Same for actual lease agreement??

Lastly, who is everyone using to do background checks on applicants?

I was thinking of asking for 250.00 non-refundable fee for cleaning and a full months rent for refundable deposit. Sound reasonable???

TIA.

@Won Lee

As soon as you can, do something very kind for yourself. Take yourself to coffee and read your state's landlord-tenant laws. You may be able to find a condensed version at www.Landlordology.com

Please don't skip this step. It's not sexy, but it's part of the business.

Yes, you learn as you go, but you need head knowledge of the fundamentals.

Best to you!
