California Lease Agreement
Hi BP Family!
I’m looking for a tenant lease agreement contract in California. Any suggestions on where I can find one. My dad has tenants and he never had a contract agreement for them. He’s not even making money. I’m stepping in and helping him out so I can control the property management and getting new tenants if they don’t agree to sign the contract. His mortgage is 1150 and charging his tenants 1150!!! They rents in the area easily go for 1600 average on rentometor. Yes he’s a bad landlord, so I’m going to jump in and help/save him, I just started getting into real estate investing, so now I’m out there asking my parents and everyone I know who is a landlord to gain knowledge. Unfortunately my dad needs the knowledge and help. I would love your feedback!!
Thank you in advance!!!

@David Flores I think the lease from California Association of Realtors is the best one. However, it can not be used without a realtor being on one end. It covers more than most other lease forms do and has the language that is required to do things properly. I would suggest you look at it and make sure whatever lease you use has all of the same points. If you message me I can show you an example, You just can't use it as is since it has my name and CAR on it.
