Always read your lease agreement...

Why it's important to read your lease.

A lease is the contract between a landlord and a tenant. The lease sets forth the rights and responsibilities of both landlord and the tenant. The lease allows the tenant to occupy and use, for a specific perid of time, land and structures on the land. The lease may set forth other duties and responsibilities of the landlord and tenant. Once the parties sign the lease both are bound by its terms.

Signing a lease is a big deal. There are a lot of things being thrown at the person(s) signing, might be overwhelmed, and usually, the last thing anyone wants to do is read through the long lease. Remember always read through your lease, ask questions, then sign.
