Frequently asked questions
Is this lease legally binding?
A document like this is binding when the parties agree to it (and sign where required). Whether each clause is enforceable depends on your local law, so have important agreements reviewed by a lawyer.
What disclosures are required?
Federal law requires a lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978. Many states require more (e.g. deposit receipts, mold, bed bugs, flood zone). Check your state's landlord-tenant law.
Are there limits on deposits and late fees?
Often yes. Many states cap security deposits (e.g. one or two months' rent) and some cap late fees or require a grace period. The generator adds a reminder — check the rules for your state.
