The term tenant lease usually refers to the tenant-side or copy of the lease agreement that occurs between a landlord and tenant. A lease is an agreement that determines the exact terms of the agreement for rental of property which, after being consented by both parties, is legally binding in court. As a tenant, the lease is of much importance when renting or leasing an apartment or home. Before signing any documents, it is important that you recognize the information as it relates to your side of the relationship. Tenants will receive a copy this lease, the tenant lease, and must negotiate, modify, and then sign the lease to finalize the agreement. The important information that should be looked for in the tenant lease are length of lease, amount of security deposit, payment terms, the presence of an "as is" clause or other undesirable waivers,and if there is a lease-to-buy option. After signing the lease, it cannot be broken unless the other party defaults on the agreement.
