LANDLORD LEASE AGREEMENT

The most important form in any landlord-tenant relationship is the Lease Agreement.  This vital document will outline all of the necessary conditions of a successful relationship between the landlord and the tenant.  A good template of this agreement can be found on the website: www.Lawdepot.com.

Log onto this website and navigate to the jurisdiction that applies to your residential property and download the form.  All important aspects of any residential agreement will be addressed by this form. The required information necessary in the lease agreement are all self-explanatory and most are required by law.  This information is designed to protect both tenant and landlord rights as defined by law in the Residential Tenancy Act (SBC 2002). It is important to have all tenants over the age of 18 sign this lease.

While this form outlines the basics of the lease agreement, it is still advisable to seek professional guidance if you are not clear on any term.  An experienced property management company will be able to assist you with the agreement.

One area of variability is the length of the lease.  Depending on your situation, the optimum length of the lease will vary. In a tight rental market you may want a shorter lease, so that you can modify rents as the market changes.  In a market with high vacancy rates, you may want a longer lease to minimize your turnover.  A professional property management company will help you assess the proper length of the lease to maximize your investment.
