Residential Lease Agreement FAQ

A residential lease is a legal binding agreement made between the tenant and the landlord. The residential lease describes the rights, responsibilities, and limitations the tenant has over the property. This agreement lets the tenant enjoy the property as outlined in the agreement in exchange for money that's paid to the landlord. Not, only does it outline the tenants rights and responsibilities, but also the landlords. Both the tenant and landlord must follow the agreement.

The governing law is the law in the state your residential property is in. The state you reside in is not the governing law of the residential property. The jurisdiction of the property is the governing law.

Verbal agreements don't work because their difficult to enforce. If a dispute arose over the agreement then it's hard to show the court you carry proof to back up your claims. If you can show the court paperwork to prove your claims then the courts generally are obligated to uphold the terms of the written agreement even if they disagree with it.
