Create a comprehensive residential lease for apartments, houses, condos, and townhouses with rent terms, security deposit provisions, pet policy, maintenance responsibilities, and state-specific clauses.
I built this residential lease agreement generator to help landlords, property managers, and tenants create legally sound rental agreements without expensive attorney fees. Whether you're leasing a single-family home, apartment, condo, townhouse, or duplex, this tool generates a comprehensive lease that covers all the essential provisions.
Every lease generated by this tool includes detailed provisions covering the premises description, lease term (fixed or month-to-month), rent payment terms with late fee schedules, security deposit handling with state-law-compliant return timelines, utility allocation, occupancy limits, pet policies with deposit requirements, smoking restrictions, parking arrangements, maintenance and repair responsibilities, renter's insurance requirements, subletting rules, early termination options, lead-based paint disclosures, mold and environmental provisions, landlord right of entry with notice requirements, default and remedies, move-out procedures, and governing law.
Security deposit laws vary significantly by state. Some states cap the maximum deposit (e.g., California limits deposits to one month's rent for unfurnished units), while others have no cap. Return timelines range from 14 to 60 days depending on the jurisdiction. This generator includes language that references your governing state's laws to ensure compliance.
Use the AI chat assistant to ask questions about specific lease provisions, tenant rights, landlord obligations, security deposit rules, or eviction procedures. The assistant provides general guidance based on your selected state and lease terms.
