Specifically, anything indicating that the lease is completed and both sides have no claims or issues with each other.There's no "standard" agreement that I'm aware of, but we've done a bilateral "Termination of Rental Agreement" when we wanted to document that a tenant has officially moved out, that there are no outstanding funds owed, and that there are no claims or issues.These agreements are particularly useful when doing "cash for keys" with a tenant.I would keep it simple: State in the document exactly what you want to establish as facts, and then run it by an attorney for good measure.I'd also recommend requiring the tenant's signature be notarized.

So if I don’t have established rental income early next year then it’s not a good look, huh?
