The Simple Residential Lease Agreement is a fundamental document in U.S. residential property rental transactions, designed to protect both landlord and tenant interests. This agreement is used when establishing a straightforward rental arrangement for residential properties, typically for terms of one year or less. It includes essential provisions required by federal, state, and local laws, while remaining simpler and more straightforward than comprehensive lease agreements. The document is particularly suitable for individual landlords or small property management operations where complex commercial terms are not required.
