The video below will walk you through creating a lease agreement in TurboTenant:
Regardless of where you get your lease agreement, you will need to create a lease profile.
Lease profiles are for organizational purposes and allow you to easily group your tenant(s) and property together to organize lease agreements and tenants, rent payments, and documents in one place.
It is a common misconception that a Lease Profile and a Lease Agreement are the same, but they are not.
A Lease Profile is the hub where all of your information for your Lease is stored. To access your lease profile, you can select the leases tab from your dashboard and select the name of the current/draft or ending soon lease to manage documents, create a new lease (if applicable), and manage charges!
You can check out our Lease Guide to walk you through how to start with both!
Advanced Editor
Once you have all the steps completed for your lease agreement, you can use our Advance Editor to remove or add any other information that you would like to see in that lease 😄 Keep in mind, if you exit out of the advanced builder, none of your changes will be saved.
You can access this feature by selecting "Advanced Editor" on the lease building page:
Make sure to choose the option to save and preview, or review and e-sign.
*Disclaimer: Changing some terms in the lease may conflict with state or local laws. If you make significant edits, we recommend speaking with an attorney. Please have a look at your specific state lease agreement for more information. TurboTenant is not responsible for edits that are not compliant with state laws. TurboTenant is unable to provide legal advice.
TurboTip: It is important to make sure all of the information in the original builder is correct! If the tenants contact information, such as email, is incorrect on the advanced builder, you will need to revert back to the original lease builder to update that in the "People on The Lease" section. Once you save your changes, you can go back to the advanced builder.
Want to use the same lease agreement for different tenants?
Go to the Leases tab on your dashboard, select the name of your lease (to get to the lease profile), and then use the three dots next to the document title to copy!
Once you copy the lease agreement to the new lease profile, you'll be asked to review each section in the lease builder, you'll be able to review and make any changes! Once you are done reviewing it, you can send it out for e-signatures.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Does the lease agreement follow state-specific rental laws?
A: TurboTenant’s custom lease agreements were drafted by a team of landlords and law firms to ensure you are compliant and covered under federal laws and your specific state’s rental laws. Whether you’re renting out a condominium in Florida or a single-family home in Texas, we have what you need to craft the perfect state-specific rental contract.
Q: What information can you customize on the TurboTenant lease agreement?
A: We include all of the information on a standard lease agreements such as rental address, term lease, monthly rent amount, and security deposit, but you’ll also be able to add additional terms that might be specific to your rental property or local area. The lease agreement is also a great place to add house rules like quiet hours, parking, your pet policy, and how to approach late rent.
Q: What do you write in a lease agreement?
A: A great lease agreement should outline every detail of the lease that the property owner and the renters are entering into. These details include contact information, the people on the lease, the smoking policy inside the rental unit, what happens at the end of the lease, early lease termination, and breaking the lease disclosure. TurboTenant’s customizable lease agreements make it simple for landlords to craft the perfect document that will keep them compliant, help them avoid evictions, and streamline their rental business.
Q: Can I use the TurboTenant lease agreement for my commercial property?
A: Commercial leases are essential for businesses and organizations seeking to lease properties for operational purposes. These properties are typically designated for commercial, industrial, or retail activities. In contrast, TurboTenant specializes in residential lease agreements tailored specifically for rental purposes in residential settings.
It's important to know that TurboTenant's residential lease agreements are not designed for commercial or business purposes. Using a residential lease for a commercial property renders the lease technically void, as it does not meet the necessary legal standards for commercial leasing.
