Residential Leases are suitable for properties that are legal to rent as housing, such as houses, apartments, mobile homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes, basement apartments, or a single room in a home or cabin. To be considered legal housing in most areas, the property must be safe, structurally sound, have safe wiring, meet HUD lead-based paint requirements, have adequate ventilated sleeping areas, have functional bathrooms, and more. If you are not sure that your property is legal to rent in your area, contact the local housing authority to learn more about what is considered habitable.
