Rental Agreement/Lease - what are keys to protect yourself
What are the key provisions a landlord needs to include in a lease to protect themselves and the property? Do you get an attorney to draft a solid agreement for you or if not where do you find?

No lease can be written in any way that will magically give you a problem-free tenant. That's where screening comes in. And month 2 month agreements, so if they turn out to not be great, you can kick them out easier, and change any rules that need changing with just a 30 day notice, usually.
