Questions
How much does a lease cost?
$4.99 per lease. Complete your lease, check the preview and download the finished PDF with every attached page. One-time payment, no account, no subscription.
New lease or renewal?
Both. For a renewal, enter the current lease dates and rent; the new lease starts the day after the old one ends. If you made the first lease here on the same device, one tap fills in everything from it.
What if I don't know an answer?
Every question has a "What does this mean?" button with what most small landlords choose and a safe answer if you're not sure. Nothing leaves you stuck.
Which disclosures are included?
Whatever your state and building need: the federal lead paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, flood disclosures, New York's Good Cause notice and sprinkler disclosure, New York City notices, and New Jersey's lead-safe, drinking water, window guard and Truth in Renting pages. See each state's page for the list.
