PDF Leases Rental Agreements Keep Your House or Walk Away With Money in Your Pocket Marcia Stewart Janet Portman Attorney Books
Essential rental forms every landlord needs
If you rent out residential real estate, you need to create documents that are legally valid where your rental property is located. Every state’s rules are different when it comes to what landlords must include in their leases, and stationery store forms don’t tell you what you need to know. Not only does this book contain instructions on how to tailor your rental documents to your state’s laws, it also gives you customizable copies of key rental forms you need, including
- a fixed-term lease
- a month-to-month rental agreement
- a rental application
- tenant reference and credit check forms
- move-in and move-out letters, and
- a property inspection checklist.
The 13th edition is completely updated to reflect the latest state landlord-tenant laws―find out what your state requires regarding security deposits, entry to rental property, disclosures, termination notices, and much more. This new edition also covers topics relevant to today’s landlords, such as how to handle online transactions, how to make sure e-signatures are valid, and how to comply with laws protecting your tenants’ private information.

"Very Helpful for some people has all kinds of information for leases and rental agreements.
Only difficulty I had with it I thought it would have easy to copy contracts and instead to have a professional look I had to go ahead and type out the forms I needed rather than just copy them. Other than that it was very helpful"

Leases Rental Agreements Keep Your House or Walk Away With Money in Your Pocket Marcia Stewart Janet Portman Attorney Books Reviews
- The book is fine. However, the link to the online forms does not work. The book cover says "with Downloadable forms." Don't believe it. And from a legal forms source, no less!. Gotta laugh at that. The website contact link is worthless. If you want online forms to print, look elsewhere.
- This was perfect for our needs, my only complaint is that I was led to believe that we could download a lease agreement free of charge, admittedly there is one that can be removed from the book, but you can only use it once unless you make copies before using it and of course remembering where you put them the following year.
- I am a fan of the Nolo series books. They are well informed and researched and written by knowledgeable sources. Although you may need to do further research into certain topics after reading the book, you are provided with a solid basis to introduce you to the topic.
- Forget about getting any forms or legal updates, as promised on the cover, their website is closed.
- The forms in the book were great. We made copies of all the forms that pertain to us. It really helped with renting our Ohana house for the first time.
- My wife and I purchased this book. It is a MUST for anyone that is planning on becoming a landlord. The book is very basic and not too complex. It is well written!
The book also saved us about $600. The cheapest price we were quoted to fill out paperwork (lease, credit check, etc) from a realtor was $600. We decided not to pay the $600, and buy the book. We wanted to make sure that we were legally secure from any future lawsuits, by making sure ALL the paperwork was worded just right.
My wife and I were able to personalize the lease for our new tenant. What's great is that the book comes with a CD which consists of all the forms from the book. It works with MS Word. The hardest part was just filling in items for the first renter, and adding our own personal addendums to the lease like "no smoking", "no drug use", "no grills on balcony", "if there are 3 violations/fines from the condo association from your unit for loud music, you will be given 30days to move and this will be a violation to the lease"...etc.
Honestly, just get on google and research "things to put on a lease", this will help you think of things that may not be covered on the forms that come with the book, but pertain to your particular condo or home.
For all future tenants, all we have to do is simply use the SAME lease+docs which is all saved on our computer (Just need to change the 'names' of the new renter)
I am so glad we did not pay someone $600 to do something so simple!
Good luck to all of you! - This book is a toolbox. It’s what I hoped to have when I bought The Rental Property Manager’s Toolbox I’ve now thrown into my recycle bin hoping the paper might find more productive use. The title suggests that it offers only forms, but it tells the reasoning behind the forms and gives down to earth reasonable advice on how to deal with tenants in the event of their not complying and how to use the forms to select tenants least likely to fail to comply. That “toolbox†doesn’t provide a lease, the form a landlord is most likely to need, but this one provides that and all other essential on a CD in PDF format and RTF format you can import directly into Word for editing. And it provides tables to tell you how to edit the lease and other forms to meet requirements particular to each of the fifty states. I expect this and Tax Guide for Rental Properties 2013 to be all the guidance I need to avoid foreseeable trouble. And I’m a first-time landlord with a four-apartment historic mansion and no attorney or accountant.
