Enter a facility name and choose a state. The state sets the lien statute named in the bold notice clause.
How it works
- Agreement = parties and unit + term and rent + use + access + insurance + lien notice + alternate contact + military status + general terms
The draft uses only what you enter. Anything left blank stays as a [placeholder] or a fill-in line for the tenant, so nothing is invented for you.
The lien notice is set apart in bold and names your state’s statute where we have verified it. Where we have not, it says so and leaves the citation for your attorney.
The alternate contact and military status sections are optional. Download the draft as a text file, or print it from this page.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a legally valid rental agreement?
It is a template draft, not legal advice. Have your attorney review it for your state and your facility before you use it.
Why is the lien clause bold and separate?
Lien language is easy to miss in a long agreement. Setting it apart is a common way to make sure a tenant sees it. Your attorney can confirm what your state requires.
Why ask for an alternate contact?
Some state statutes mention notice to an alternate contact before a lien sale. Collecting one at move-in gives you another way to reach the tenant.
Why ask about military status?
Federal law limits lien sales against service members on active duty. Knowing the answer at move-in helps you follow those rules later.
