Best Practices for a Great Landlord-Tenant Relationship
By incorporating a rental application form and screening process, you will know more about your potential tenants: their financial situation, character, and history. By requiring a background check as part of the application process, you convey to prospective renters that you are serious about who you choose to rent to. Because of this, you'll have a better chance of attracting serious candidates. In the absence of a thorough screening process, you risk renting to tenants who are unable or refuse to pay rent or care for the property.
Another thing you must ensure is a comprehensive, state-specific lease. Rental laws vary from state to state, and if you don't abide by them, you might lose a lot of money. Additionally, a comprehensive leasing agreement is critical since it safeguards all parties involved during the duration of the lease. As a result, this is critical to securing your rights as a landlord.
Both the first month's rent and the security deposit must be paid before a tenant can move into their new home. It's important to collect these during the signing of the lease. This ensures that your tenant has read and understood the lease agreement. Your tenants also benefit, as they should not pay deposits or rent until a written agreement has been completed.

Bad Tenants Cost You Money
As a landlord, you've likely heard that a lousy tenant can cost you more than a vacancy. There are two ways to avoid bad renters.

Types of Landlord Forms Included With Membership
The LPA has many types of valuable forms that will address any situation you may face in a landlord-tenant relationship. Here are the main types of forms along with a brief explanation of what these particular forms include. For more information regarding each of these form types, visit each designated form page.
Lease, Addendum, & Disclosures Forms
Rental Applications, Tenant Screening, and Move-In Forms
Lease forms serve as an agreement between the landlord and tenant, outlining their rights and duties. Both parties may also agree to addendums regarding pets, smoking, renovation, lead paint and more. Additionally, federal, state, and municipal regulations may mandate certain disclosures.
Rental applications ask for information that indicates a person's ability to rent your property. The screening form can be used after you've received all the applications. Moving-in checklists are useful tools for keeping tabs on the condition of your rental property and holding renters responsible for any damages that occur.
Lease Enforcement and Rent Collection Forms
Property Management Forms
Every landlord who leases out a property must devise a system for collecting payment from their renters. With these forms, you can ensure that your tenants are adhering to the terms of their lease and coordinate any necessary action for rent collection, issues on conduct, or eviction.
The nature of property management demands a lot of paperwork. Take full control of your rental properties, improve your cash flow, protect your investment, and save precious time by using these forms.
The State Specific Lease Index allows you to verify your state's requirements and any state imposed limitations affecting your lease rental agreement. State requirements are listed with corresponding LPA Lease clause numbers.
