Silverback Contracts · Residential lease

Your lease, read before you sign it.

A lease is a year or more of rent plus every fee written into it. Landlords use the same form for every unit, so it is written for them.

What people miss

Three clauses to check before you sign

Many leases renew on their own unless you give notice 30 to 60 days early. Miss the window and you can owe another term.

Check who pays for appliances, pests, plumbing and the yard. Some forms quietly make the tenant pay the first set dollar amount of every repair.

Look for what can be taken from the deposit, how wear and tear is defined, and how many days the landlord has to return it.

What you get

The plain-words version - every clause in sentences a normal person says out loud.
Where it bites - the terms that cost you money or freedom, ranked.
What to ask for - the changes worth requesting and the words to request them in.
Questions for your attorney - so the hour you pay for is spent deciding, not reading.
The one-page summary - for the person you are deciding with.
