Paperwork Is A Key Component Of Your Business

And this includes your lease! Your lease is the single most important document you can have with your tenant as it sets the groundwork for your relationship.

But have you even read it?

I’ve talked with hundreds and hundreds of landlords and read dozens and dozens of different leases and the things I’ve seen have made my head spin.

From landlords who don’t bother with leases and just do everything verbally to hand me down leases that aren’t even legal in the state or province they are being used it.

You Need A Legal Lease

That’s part of the reason I’ve decided to work with LawDepot.com to help make sure more of you have the proper forms in place. LawDepot approached me last year about advertising on my site and I held off at the time, but the time felt right now to add them as as option for visitors here.

From leases to eviction forms and everything in between and around, they have the forms you need to protect yourself properly and to make sure you are doing your business right.

Now, to be completely transparent I do receive a commission if you do purchase through them, so it helps me as well, but more importantly, it gets the right forms in your hands.

To find out more, go visit them at www.LawDepot.com (that is an affiliate link) and see if they can help.

Alternatively you can also do some research and find a local apartment owner association. Groups like this often offer lease packages that tend top have the most current and up to date clauses and wording in there packages.

I’d definitely recommend you stay away from the off the shelf type products you find in office supply stores. These packages often tend to be extremely generic and tend to miss-out on specifics that would affect you in your state or province.
