What is a residential lease agreement?
A lease agreement is a contract between a landlord (or property manager) and a tenant that sets the rent, term, security deposit, occupancy rules, maintenance responsibilities, and what happens if either side breaks the agreement.
A written lease reduces misunderstandings about pets, utilities, late fees, entry rights, subletting, and move-out conditions.
What a complete lease should cover
Identify the parties and the property address, rent amount and due date, lease start and end dates, security deposit amount and return rules, who pays which utilities, occupancy limits, maintenance duties, entry notice rules, and default remedies. Local landlord-tenant law may require specific disclosures (lead paint, mold, bedbugs, rent control notices, and more).
iRunDocs structures the core commercial terms into a clean PDF draft. Always confirm required state and city disclosures before signing.
Lease vs month-to-month and subleases
A fixed-term lease usually locks both sides in for a set period (often 12 months). A month-to-month rental continues until either party gives proper notice. A sublease lets a tenant rent to someone else when the original lease and law allow it. Use the document that matches the actual arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
Is a written lease required?
Many short oral rental arrangements exist, but a written lease is strongly preferred and may be required for longer terms in some places. A written lease is the best proof of the agreed terms.
What should be in a security deposit clause?
State the deposit amount, what it may be used for, when it must be returned, and how deductions will be itemized — consistent with your state's deposit laws.
Can a landlord enter the unit anytime?
Usually no. Most states require reasonable notice except in emergencies. Put entry notice rules in the lease and follow local law.
Can I create a lease agreement online?
Yes. iRunDocs offers a guided lease generator with PDF preview. Confirm local landlord-tenant requirements before use.
Is iRunDocs a substitute for a real-estate attorney?
No. For complex multi-unit, commercial, rent-controlled, or contested situations, consult a licensed attorney.
