Lease templates are extremely difficult to find on the Internet. Most legal forms companies want you to pay for a subscription-based format where you have access to all of your forms, or you have the website where you make the agreement on their site and it crashes. People who want a lease typically write them all the time and want access to a template that they can use over and over again, but before we dive into where we can find these templates, let’s take a look at what a lease is and the types. leases that exist.

The standard lease is the most common agreement among residential homes, it is a legal document between a person who owns a property (“Landlord”) and someone who is occupying the property (“Tenant”) in exchange for monthly rent. The form can be for any length of time, but most of the time you see a one-year term. You cannot cancel this type of legal document, but if you lose your job or a special situation arises, you should talk to your landlord and try to negotiate some kind of deal.

The month-to-month lease is a legal document that allows a person who owns a property to allow someone else to occupy the property in exchange for a monthly rent, but there is no time frame for when the tenant must move out. A month-to-month agreement is unique in that the tenant only has to notify the landlord 30 days in advance when they would like to vacate the property or make changes to the lease. The same applies to the landlord, if the landlord wants the tenant to pay more rent, evict, or make any other modification to the lease, a 30-day notice is required.

The sublease agreement is a legal document that allows someone who is already renting a property (sub-lessor) to let someone else occupy the property (sub-tenant) in exchange for a monthly rent. This is the most complicated type of lease because you generally need the landlord’s permission to allow a sublease to take place. Unless you’re in a college dorm or have lost a significant amount of your income, homeowners have a hard time allowing something like this to happen. In the event that you are the Sub-Lessor, you will remain responsible for your lease with the Lessor if the Sub-Lessee fails to pay the rent or breaches their lease in any way.
