paperwork for new tenant

Robert P.

Hi All!

As you may know from an earlier post, I have found a tenant for my apartment! (woo hoo) I screened and screened and screened some more and nothing but positive outcomes, so I am pretty excited about this. 

Let me know if I am missing anything:

1. I am doing a month to month tenancy, so I have an "At-Will" agreement which states it's month to month, rent amount, deposit amount, where/how to pay and when due. Pretty basic.

2. Agreement Rules Addendum: this contains all the rules, no smoking, don't wash you car, storage in limited in basement, how to report maintenance, yada yada (my uncle who is a real estate lawyer reviewed and confirmed everything that needs to be in there is, and will hold up in MA court)

3. They have a pet, so I have a pet addendum which states what pet they have, how they can't add anymore, and the responsibility/accountability tenant has for having a pet on my property. 

4. First/Last/Security deposit form which states what they gave, what it's for and where the money will be stored (bank info)

5. Statement of condition form: for us to walk through apartment beforehand and list anything that was there prior to move in.

Am I missing any other important forms? The property is in full lead compliance, do I still need to give them the lead law paperwork? Anything else?
