There are many different property types, so there’s no typical length for a lease agreement. A lease agreement’s length depends on the number of clauses and rental provisions a landlord includes as well as how detailed they choose to be.
Standard lease agreements will typically contain clauses covering the following information: Pet policy Property use restrictions Occupancy limits Subletting conditions Rules for guest stays and extended absences Property condition While one-page rental agreements are straightforward, a more complex lease agreement may be over a dozen pages long. A longer lease agreement leaves room for more comprehensive legal language, but it may also intimidate tenants and make them wary of unfair rental provisions. By using a simple one-page lease agreement, you’ll communicate the most important information without confusing your tenants.
