Federal law mandates all states include certain requirements in all Lease and Rental agreements. All agreements should include:
The personal and identifying information of the tenant and landlord,
A legal description of the property,
Whether pets are allowed,
Certain safety, health, and other occupational considerations,
Security deposit specifics,
Rent specifics, such as when rent is due and specific payment methods.
It’s important to understand that most states will differ on certain leasing and rental requirements. Failing to familiarize yourself with your state’s leasing and rental nuances could result in severe consequences, affecting your renting future, finances, and legal rights.
For instance, some states might require a landlord to provide forty-eight (48) hours notice before entering a property to make repairs, while others might not have any restrictions, and allow a landlord to enter when he/she pleases. Or, some landlords might be required to provide you with a health and safety informational pamphlet upon moving in, while others may not.
Select the appropriate state where your Lease/Rental Agreement is to be executed to learn about important requirements and differences.

The sample lease agreement below describes a contract between “Landlord” Kevin Lee and “Tenant” Olivia Graham. She agrees to rent a duplex in Columbia for $1,000 per month for a fixed term beginning on June 01, 2017 and ending on August 09, 2017. The tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and services for the Premises.
This is a good example of what provisions a simple lease agreement might contain, and how one should look in its final form.
