Real Estate

A lease agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms for renting a property. It states the obligations and rights of the tenant and landlord, including rent payments and repair duties.

An eviction notice (or a notice to quit) is a formal document a landlord gives to a tenant to address a lease violation or request that they move out. It explains the issue, such as unpaid rent or property damage. If the problem is fixable, the notice gives the tenant a chance to correct it.

A quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers whatever interest a grantor has in real property. By signing it, the grantor gives up, or “quits,” any claim to the property.

A rental application is a form that the landlord provides to potential tenants to gather information. The tenant fills out their income, employment, and rental history. As a landlord, you can use their responses to select the best tenant for your property and make renting out your space easier.
