Frequently Asked Questions

Start by identifying your role and goal: landlords renting residential property need a Residential Lease Agreement; businesses leasing office or retail space need a Commercial Lease; property owners leasing machinery or vehicles need an Equipment Lease. If you need to end a tenancy, use our state-specific Notice to Vacate/Quit forms. For buying or selling property without an agent, use a Real Estate Purchase Contract.

Yes. Our residential leases, commercial leases, equipment leases, subleases, and notice forms are available in state-specific versions for all 50 states, drafted to comply with each state's landlord-tenant and real estate laws.

Yes. All forms are provided in editable formats so you can add or modify clauses for rent amount, security deposits, pet policies, late fees, maintenance responsibilities, and other terms specific to your property or transaction.

Yes. Our forms are designed for landlords, property managers, business owners, and FSBO sellers to complete on their own. For standard rentals and straightforward real estate transactions, most users don't need an attorney. However, complex commercial deals or disputes may benefit from legal review.

Generally, no. Residential and commercial leases are valid with signatures alone—notarization is not required in most states. However, real estate deeds (like quitclaim or warranty deeds) typically do require notarization. Check your state's requirements for specific documents.

Yes. Under the federal ESIGN Act and state laws like UETA, electronic signatures are legally valid for leases, subleases, and most real estate contracts. Both parties should retain a signed copy for their records.

You must follow your state's legal process—never attempt "self-help" eviction like changing locks. Start by sending a proper written notice, such as a Notice to Vacate or 3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit , using the form required by your state. If the tenant doesn't comply, you may then file for eviction in court.

Legal eviction requires written notice followed by a court proceeding if the tenant doesn't leave voluntarily. The specific notice type and timeline depend on the reason (nonpayment, lease violation, or end of tenancy) and your state's laws. Always use a state-compliant notice form to start the process.

Yes. Once purchased, you can reuse our lease and real estate forms for additional properties, tenants, or transactions. Simply update the property address, parties, and terms for each new use.

Most states require sellers to disclose known material defects in the property's condition. Federal law requires lead paint disclosure for homes built before 1978. Use our Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition and Lead Paint Disclosure forms to meet these requirements.
