Renting a second or other property can be a good way to earn extra income, but you should always protect yourself and the other party by signing a lease or lease. If rental management is not your main activity, you may not have a lawyer to help develop the lease. While it`s always wise to get legal advice if you`re not sure of your rights, you can save hundreds of dollars by using one of the standard rental contracts found online or in many retail stores.
