Besides the lease, what other forms do you give tenants upon.....

[Charlie Moore]

Besides the lease, what else will you hand your tenant before or on the move in day?

- Lead exposure warnings? 

- Other detailed sheets?

Solid question @Charlie Moore.

• Utility Company:  It's their responsibility to turn on / switch utilities to their name
• Important Dates:  Typically this is only trash/recycle
• Turn-Offs: Primarily the main water value, in the event of a broken line every second can lead to more damage.
• Move-Out Instructions:  I also hand them the complete move-out cleaning list so there's never any confusion.
• Air Filters:  I typically buy them the first 3-4 filters and explain the importance of switching them out.

I have given my tenants CC&R's and HOA agreements before too. That way they know the community rules and cannot play dumb. Luckily we have had great tenants but sometimes we get yard issues.

@Charlie Moore  -  I give

1.) Lead paint addendum

2.) Pet Addendum

3.) New Tenant Guidebook

Besides for the standard lease we use here are some other documents the tenants get upon moving in:

- A parking diagram if the building has shared parking

- Instructions on how they can pay their rent and where to deliver if they pay by mail

- Prefered methods for them to report maintenance issues

- lead based paint disclosure is included in the lease docs as required by law for homes built pre-1978
