How It Works
Create a professionally formatted, state-specific lease agreement in about 5 minutes. Here is the step-by-step process.
Choose Your State and Document Type
Start by selecting the state where the rental property is located. Every US state and DC has its own landlord-tenant laws, and the requirements for a valid lease agreement vary significantly from state to state. For example, California has strict rules about security deposit limits and required disclosures, while Texas has different rules about late fees and notice periods.
Next, select the type of agreement you need. We offer four document types: a standard residential lease for fixed-term tenancies, a month-to-month rental agreement for flexible arrangements, a room rental agreement for shared living situations, and a sublease agreement for tenants who need to sublet their space. Not sure which one you need? Each document type page includes a plain-English description of when to use it.
Once you make your selections, our platform loads the specific legal requirements for your state and document type combination, so everything that follows is tailored to your situation.
Fill Out the Form
Our form walks you through all the information needed to generate a complete, legally compliant lease agreement. You will enter details about the landlord and tenant, the rental property address, the lease term and start date, the monthly rent amount, the security deposit, and any applicable late fees.
The form is designed to be clear and straightforward, using plain English labels rather than legal jargon. Each field includes a helpful description so you always know exactly what information is being requested. Required disclosures for your state are presented as checkboxes with explanatory text, making it easy to understand what you are agreeing to include.
Our form only shows the fields and disclosures that are relevant to your state and document type. If your state does not require a particular disclosure or does not cap late fees, those fields will not appear. This keeps the process focused and prevents confusion.
Choose Your Document Style
After filling out the form, you can choose from multiple professionally designed document styles for your lease agreement. Each layout contains the same legally compliant content, formatted in a different visual style so you can find the one that best fits your preferences.
Style options include clean and simple layouts that are easy to read, as well as more formal styles that convey a professional appearance. All layouts use clear headings, numbered sections, and consistent spacing to make the document easy to navigate. Every style includes your state's required disclosures, signature blocks, and all other mandatory elements.
You can switch between styles freely before completing your purchase. A live preview updates as you select different styles, so you always see exactly what your document will look like before you pay.
Preview and Checkout
Before completing your purchase, you can preview the full lease agreement to confirm that all the details are correct. The preview shows every page of the document exactly as it will appear in the downloaded PDF, including all filled-in fields, required disclosures, and the selected document style.
If you notice any errors or want to make changes, you can go back to the form and update the information at no charge. The preview updates instantly so you can verify your corrections before proceeding.
When you are satisfied with the document, proceed to checkout. Payment is processed securely through Stripe. We accept all major credit and debit cards. The total cost is $7.99 for your lease agreement. There are no hidden fees, no subscriptions, and no account required.
Download Your PDF
Immediately after payment is confirmed, your lease agreement is generated and ready to download. You will be redirected to a download page where you can save your PDF with a single click. A download link is also sent to the email address you provided during checkout so you have a backup copy.
The download link remains active for 5 days after purchase, so you have plenty of time to save the file and share it with the other party. Once downloaded, the PDF is a standard document that can be opened on any device, printed, and signed by hand. If you need a legally binding electronic signature, you can upload the PDF to any e-signature service.
We recommend printing two copies: one for the landlord and one for the tenant. Both parties should sign both copies, and each should retain a signed original for their records. Store your lease in a safe place for the entire duration of the tenancy and for several years afterward.
