You would be hard pressed to go to court and say "I signed a lease with them for $0 and let them live under those conditions for 11 months but now I want them to back pay me what I really wanted to charge them"I would guess you caught it because renewal is coming up.

I like the Nolo Press contracts.  

I used the Nolo Press California lease in their CA landlord book.

I also really love Nolo Press books.
