Tenant Lease Agreements - Erie, PA

[Dillon Loomis]

I would like to hear some opinions on and experience with lease agreements. Having a real estate attorney draft one for you vs. creating your own online or with a program or software. 

And then perhaps pros/cons for each? I'm not sure if I should find a local attorney to work with (and pay) or if I could do the research and find a template from a resource on BP and then add in my own clauses. 

Thanks!

@Dillon Loomis Hey Dillon, Are you aware of and a member of the Northwest PA Apt Association's lease  template. Free to members (member ship is $50 a year I think)

Review by PA Attorney General and Associations attorney. I used it as a template and then covered issues as they came up to prevent reoccurance ( issues like neighbor complaints. dangerous dogs, trampolines, parking boats on my lawn , etc.)
