Does this lease include my state's required disclosures?

It's built to. Pick your state and you'll see the disclosures we've drafted for it — and they're embedded in the generated lease. Lease law varies and changes, so confirm the current requirements with your state and have an attorney review before signing.

Fixed-term vs month-to-month — which do I need?

A fixed-term lease runs for a set period (often a year) at a locked rent. A month-to-month tenancy renews each month and either side can end it with notice (commonly 30 days, longer in some states). Pick fixed-term for stability, month-to-month for flexibility.

For a standard residential lease this template is a solid starting point. For higher-stakes situations (commercial property, rent-controlled units, disputes) or any uncertainty, have a licensed attorney review it. This tool is not legal advice.
