Landlord Rental Agreement is a weapon to fight lawsuits if the property owner or the rent payer disagrees to follow the terms and conditions agreed upon mutually at the beginning. The US State Laws makes it mandatory for the landlord and the tenant to sign a Landlord Rental Agreement so that they can ask for legal interference in order to settle disputes amongst themselves, if need be. Drafted by a professional, a Landlord Rental Agreeme nt is deemed void by the court if it is doesn't enclose the following with it:
Lead based paint disclosure for units constructed before 1978;
List of inventories;
Verifiable receipt of deposit amount.

...I
am a new landlord and this was the perfect site for
me to join. My friend who only has 2 rental units referred
me to LandlordOnline. The ease of use was the selling point
for me.

had never done a 1031 exchange before but LandlordOnline
gave me more than enough information to convince me
this was great investment strategy for me.

to date on issues.
