Tenant Rental Agreement
Illinois
I'm a landlord looking to add a lease clause that allows my tenant to break the lease if he/she covers all rent up until the start of the new tenant's lease. Can you help me?
I'm in Illinois and my current tenant would like to renew the lease but add this clause for flexibility to possibly purchase a house. We discussed that she will cover the rent up until the new tenant moves in.

Length of a standard residential lease agreement?
I am in the process of looking for a new place to rent and want to make sure I understand my rights as a tenant. I am looking to sign a residential lease agreement and was wondering what the standard length of the agreement is so I can plan accordingly. I want to make sure I am aware of any potential pitfalls or issues that may arise from signing a long-term lease.
Linda W.
Being a landlord myself, and haven’t been involved in numerous residential landlord/tenant proceedings, my experience is that most residential leases are for one year. However, that being said we do live in Florida, and there are a lot of people who come down here just for the winter, which therefore involves shorter term leases. And if it is a condominium, the minimum length of time is determined by the condominium documents. If it is a home in a community, it would be covered by the HOA documents. Freestanding homes are limitless.

Can the tenant use the property for storage?
As a business owner, I am looking to rent a commercial property to use for storage purposes. However, I am unsure if the property's lease agreement allows for such use or if there are any restrictions in place. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether I can use the property for storage and if there are any legal implications I should be aware of.
Donya G.
In order to advise you on the lease, you would have to have the lease reviewed so that the purposes for the lease can be established and discussed with you. I can help to review your lease and advise you on you can and cannot do based on the lease. You can connect with me via the website to engage my services Donya Gordon

Insurance in a residential lease agreement?
I am a tenant who is about to sign a residential lease agreement with a landlord. I am concerned about the insurance requirements of the agreement and what type of insurance coverage the landlord and tenant are responsible for. I want to make sure that I am adequately covered in case of any accidents or damages that may occur during my tenancy.
N'kia N.
North Carolina does not require a residential landlord to maintain landlord insurance and does not require a residential tenant to maintain tenant ("renter's") insurance. However, when a residential lease agreement requires a tenant to carry renter's insurance, it will specify the minimum amount of coverage required. Generally speaking, landlord insurance covers a landlord and tenant ("renter's") insurance covers a tenant. For example, landlord insurance is likely to cover a tenant's injuries or damages related to the landlord's negligence but is not likely to cover the tenant for more general liability purposes. Ultimately, a tenant is responsible for maintaining the minimum amount of renter's insurance required by the residential lease agreement. Otherwise, the tenant may be liable for violating the lease. However, a tenant may choose to maintain renter's insurance with more coverage than required. Exactly how much coverage a tenant needs will depend on that tenant's specific circumstances.

Residential lease agreement for furnished units?
I recently moved into a furnished unit and signed a residential lease agreement. However, I am unsure if the agreement I signed covers any damage done to the furniture. I want to make sure that I am protected in the event of any damage to the furniture and that I am not liable for any repair or replacement costs.
Rosemary L.
It is common in a residential leases which is furnished that the tenant is responsible for any damage to furnishings. You might want to check if this clause is in the agreement, or whether there is a provision that states that included in the cost of the tenancy is insurance to reimburse the landlord (but payable by the tenant) for any losses to such personal property. If damages are the responsibility of the tenant, you might wish to discuss with the landlord whether you could replace any claim for damages with an insurance policy that would cover such losses.
