what should be included in a lease agreement
The lease should include all of the things that the tenant is responsible for, and all of the things the landlord is responsible for. The lease should include all of the rights and responsibilities of both parties. There are many practical aspects of renting a place to live that should be dealt with by the lease agreement. At a minimum, a residential tenancy agreement should cover the following items: 1  Names and addresses of the parties to the contract (i.e., the landlord and tenant or tenants). 2  Date of the agreement. 3  Names of all those who will be living in the premises, including children and a description of any pets.
