Where is the best place to get a lease written?
Hi, everyone. I've been using a lease I found and modified since I got started. However, it is a pdf file, and is a huge pain to edit. It also looks kind of hacked up after adding in everything extra that I wanted to include.
I've decided its time to have someone write me a lease.
I thought about purchasing the landlord forms from biggerpockets, but then I read that they come in pdf files, so it sounds like they won't work for me, because I might want to make changes to the lease in the future.
All of the other sites with leases that I've found won't actually give you an editable file for the lease, they just tell you to go on their website and fill out a questionnaire, and then they generate you a lease. I don't like this, because this means if I want to add anything to the lease, I will have to manually add it EVERY time I get a new tenant.
Is there anywhere that I can pay to get a good reusable and editable lease? I really want to just get a good lease in a word file, add a few additional terms, and use it for all my tenants. This seems pretty practical, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere!
Is this something I can find, or will I need to pay an actual lawyer to write my lease?
