I have been considering joining AAGLA and know they have lease forms and other forms, but it is $199/yr.In the next couple months, I am looking to get a standard CA NAA lease written up with RUBS for water and sewer billing and a requirement for the tenants to carry their own renters insurance policies with $100K or so (if there are recommendations around this please let me know) liability limits.Does the community here have any advice on how best to do this and where I could get a lease form that does the trick?
