Arkansas Lease and Addenda...help needed

[Marlina Eckel]

Hi all, I just secured my first property in Arkansas. I created an Arkansas Lease using Rocket Lawyer and a House Rules and Resident Policies Addendum referring to the documents that my property managers in CA and OR use as a guide.  The Realtor who is helping me lease the property (I am out of state) says that the addendum is overkill and that the lease covers all of the stuff anyways, but in general words. She feels that I will make the tenants uncomfortable to sign the additional document, that the culture in Arkansas is more laid back and wouldn't respond well to this more specific document. We did do a good screening of the tenant and I feel quite comfortable that they will be good, clean and responsible tenants, but you never know....My question is, do you Arkansas landlords use addenda to your leases? How nitty gritty do you get into specifics?  I want to highlight at the lease that tenants should monitor moisture to avoid mildew growth and clean if they see it, they should change air filters quarterly, smoke detector batteries are their responsibility to change, etc. Any advice is appreciated.  I need to get this squared away this weekend. Than you so much!
