Residential lease agreement generator: your terms, standard clauses, one PDF

A lease should say what the rent is, when it is due, what happens when it is late, who pays for what, and how the tenancy ends — in language that holds up. This generator drafts a complete residential lease from your answers with the clauses landlords and tenants expect, the federal lead-paint disclosure for pre-1978 housing, and a governing-law clause for your state. Preview free; the PDF is $9.99 once. See what the rent means for the tenant with after taxes and rent by city.

Clauses included

• Premises and occupants; fixed or month-to-month term with holdover; rent, due date, grace period, late and returned-payment fees.
• Security deposit and its return; utilities; use, pets and smoking; condition, maintenance and repairs; landlord access with notice.
• Assignment and subletting (including short-term rentals); default and remedies; insurance; lead-based paint disclosure; additional terms; governing law, notices, entire agreement; signatures.

Landlord-tenant law sets deposit caps and return deadlines, late-fee limits, required disclosures (mold, bed bugs, flood zones, smoke detectors, rent control, tenant-rights notices) and entry rules. The lease's general clause defers to that law and lets you attach the required addenda — attach them.
