What is a lease?
A lease is the contract that organises a tenancy. It binds a landlord and a tenant and sets the rules of their relationship: identity of the parties, description of the property, term, rent and charges, security deposit and how the tenancy can end. A written, signed lease is the best protection against disputes.
What a lease should contain
A solid lease states in black and white the rent, the charges, the due date, the security deposit and the inventory of fixtures. Anything left unwritten becomes a point of friction the day a disagreement arises.
From paper to a structured lease
A lease in a drawer is hard to act on. A rental management tool ties each lease to its unit and tenant, links the rent receipts and payments, and turns due dates into automatic reminders.
