Fill the form to generate your document.

Draft only, not a finished lease. Add your state's required disclosures and have a landlord-tenant attorney check it over first.

How it works

Enter the parties, property address, rent, deposit, and term. The generator assembles a clean residential lease draft you can copy, print, and sign.

State-specific disclosures matter: security-deposit caps, lead-paint disclosures for pre-1978 homes, and required entry-notice periods all vary by state and are not automatically included here.

Renting out more than one place?

Our eviction notice, bill of sale and power of attorney generators are free too.

FAQs

Is this lease legally binding?

Once both parties sign, a residential lease is generally binding. That said, some state-specific disclosures are legally required, and omitting them can affect enforceability. Check your state's landlord-tenant statutes.

Does it cover my state?

It references your state's law. Confirm the required disclosures, deposit rules, and notice periods with your state's official landlord-tenant resources before signing.

Can I edit it?

Yes. Copy the text and adjust clauses to reflect your specific arrangement, then add any state-required disclosures.

Is this legal advice?

No. For leases covering significant sums or unusual arrangements, have a licensed attorney review it before signing.

What should a residential lease agreement include?

A residential lease agreement should name the landlord and tenant, describe the rental property, and state the monthly rent, security deposit, start date, and term length, since those core terms are what make a lease enforceable in every state. Beyond the basics, requirements diverge by state: security-deposit caps and return deadlines, mandatory lead-paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, and minimum notice periods before a landlord may enter the unit are all set at the state level and are not automatically included in a generic template. This generator builds the core lease from the details you enter above. Add any state-required disclosures your state mandates, and have a local attorney review the document before signing if the tenancy involves significant rent, a long term, or unusual terms.
