Rental Agreement
Washington
Are rental agreement templates reliable?
I recently signed a rental agreement that I found online. I was told that it was a legally binding document, but I am concerned that it may not be reliable because it was not drafted by a lawyer. I would like to know if rental agreement templates are reliable or if I should have the agreement reviewed by a lawyer.
Merry A.
A Washington State residential landlord/tenant template may or may not be reliable depending on who drafted it or provided it, whether or not it applies to a particular situation, and whether it is up to date (in 2023, WA State made several changes to the law). You can review the state law here: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18 However, some cities/counties have additional requirements and/or provisions that also must be followed. It would have been a good idea to have an attorney review the document BEFORE you signed it.

Lease Renewal Agreement
Ohio
Can a tenant renew the lease?
I am currently renting a property under a lease agreement that is set to expire soon. I am interested in continuing to rent the property for another term, but I am unsure if I have the legal right to renew the lease or if I need to negotiate a new lease agreement with my landlord. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to clarify my options for continuing my tenancy.
Jeffrey K.
You need to review your lease agreement. There may be a section that discusses renewal. Some leases are silent, other contemplate automatic renewal and others will have a specific renewal procedure. If your lease has no renewal language, the lease will terminate at the end of the term. If that is the case, you should speak to your landlord about entering into a new lease, whether under the same terms or different terms. If the lease renews automatically, you most likely have to do nothing (if there is a procedure in the automatic renewal language, follow that procedure). If there is a specific procedure to renew, you must follow that procedure. Your lease may also state that if you remain in the property after the lease expires you will be treated as a month-to-month tenant and the terms of your lease (include rent rate) will remain. The landlord or tenant in that case can terminate the month-to-month tenancy with 30 days notice from the date the rent is due. If your rent is due July 1, 2023 and, as a month-to-month tenant, you want to move out, you would notify your landlord in writing on July 1, 2023 that July is the last month you are renting from him and you will be moving out on July 31, 2023. Likewise the landlord can notify you on July 1, 2023 that July is your last month or could change the terms (such as a rent increase) effective August 1, 2023 because the tenancy is month-to-month. There is also the possibility that you would not be considered a month-to-month tenant, but a "holdover tenant". Again, check the lease for these terms. If you are a holdover tenant, the landlord would include in the lease a rental increase for holdover tenants. This is still technically a month-to-month tenancy but on more expensive terms and the landlord most likely will want you out. Check your lease for renewal provisions and follow them. If you have questions, speak to your landlord. Open communication is important in situations like this.

Amendments in a residential lease agreement?
I recently entered into a residential lease agreement and have recently been asked to make some amendments to the agreement. These amendments are not clear to me and I would like to understand the implications and legalities of the changes before I sign the new agreement.
Myrna L.
First, you do not have to agree with your landlord to change your lease agreement. Second, know why your landlord wants to change your lease agreement. Third, what rights/benefits do you give up if you agree with your landlord to change your lease agreement.

What is a residential lease agreement?
I am looking to move to a new apartment and need to know the details of a residential lease agreement. I am familiar with the basics of a lease, but want to make sure I understand all the details of what I am signing. I am also interested in understanding what my rights and responsibilities are as a tenant.
N'kia N.
A residential lease agreement is sometimes referred to as a "residential rental agreement," a "rental agreement," a "residential lease," a "lease agreement," or simply a "lease." It is a legal contract between a landlord and a tenant that details the terms and conditions of the tenancy, including the rights and responsibilities of each party. Every U.S. state has laws regarding the rights and responsibilities of residential landlords and tenants. For example, North Carolina's "Residential Rental Agreement Act" can be found in Chapter 42 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Generally, a residential tenant has the right to possess (or occupy) the property, the right to quiet (or peaceful) enjoyment of the property, and the right to the property being fit and habitable. In exchange, a residential tenant is responsible for paying a rental fee (in full and when due), not damaging the property, and keeping the property safe and sanitary. However, a residential lease agreement may grant additional rights to and/or impose additional responsibilities upon a tenant, so long as neither conflict with the law. For example, a landlord might provide a tenant access to a business center, a clubhouse, or an exercise room but might charge a fee for said access. For another example, one landlord may prohibit pets, one may allow pets but charge no fee, and another may allow pets and charge a fee. Last, not everything stated in a residential lease agreement is necessarily enforceable. Having an attorney review a lease before signing it can help clarify the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and the tenant, which can also help avoid confusion and conflict later on.

Florida
Residential lease agreement termination notice?
I am currently in the process of terminating a residential lease agreement that I signed approximately one year ago. I was recently informed by my landlord that I must provide a formal termination notice in order to end the lease agreement. I am unsure of the exact process and what type of termination notice I must provide, so I am seeking legal advice to ensure that I am in compliance with the law and that the lease agreement is properly terminated.
Diane D.
You will need to read your lease's termination section to find your answers. Without seeing your lease, I assume you need to give a 15 or 30 day notice in writing to your landlord. However, again, without seeing the lease, no one can give you solid infomration.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
