A lease agreement is a binding contract that defines rental terms, responsibilities, and rights for both landlords and tenants.
From initial negotiation to renewal, the document governs how the tenancy operates and what happens when issues arise.
In this context, a lease is a written agreement that sets out key terms such as rent, term length, security deposits, maintenance, entry rights, and procedures for termination.
Typical leases cover rent amount and due dates, security deposits, lease term, renewal options, permitted uses, maintenance responsibilities, rules for pets, and notice requirements. The process often includes disclosure, review, negotiation, signature, and ongoing compliance.

It should also specify who is responsible for utilities and access, and detail any pet rules or remedies for breaches. Timely execution and review help ensure all terms are clear and enforceable.
