What's the typical lease missing that you've added to yours?
What is one thing you've added to your lease that may not be in the standard lease that has prevented a problem you had from happening again?
Not looking for the specific wording unless you'd like to share, but the "why"behind the addition would be a good start. :)
In the process of purchasing our first duplex and we have the BP Lease for our state downloaded and ready to go, but I am hoping to learn from the more experienced to hopefully protect myself from issues from the beginning.
Not looking for "legal advice" and will run anything we like by a lawyer, but I was hoping for your input.

One of the biggest clauses: Tenant has been given the opportunity to inspect the rental and accepts it "as is" without any expectation of additional cleaning or improvements.
I got so tired of applicants telling me a place was "PERFECT" for them, only to get complaints after they moved in. They would complain it wasn't clean enough, the rooms are too small, the carpet needs to be replaced, or the walls need to be painted. I now stress very hard that they are accepting it as is and we will not make any changes after they occupy unless it's been specifically agreed to in writing when they sign the lease.
