เซ็นสัญญาเช่า

Congratulations! I have the lease ready. It's a standard 12-month agreement starting on the first of next month. Let me walk you through the key terms.

Rent is $1,400 due on the first of each month. There's a five-day grace period. After that, a $50 late fee applies. Two bounced checks and we can start eviction proceedings.

You'd need to give 60 days' written notice and pay an early termination fee equal to two months' rent. We do try to re-rent quickly to minimize your costs.

Any additional occupant needs to be added to the lease and pass a background check. Guests staying more than 14 consecutive days are considered occupants.

Sign and date on pages 8, 12, and 15. Initial the bottom of every other page. Once you're done, I'll give you your keys and a move-in checklist.

We don't allow Airbnb-style short-term subletting, but if you need to leave for an extended period, we can discuss a long-term sublet with our approval.

Small nail holes are fine — that falls under normal wear and tear. Just no large anchors or removing fixtures. If you want to paint, you'd need written permission and agree to repaint before moving out.

I can't lower the monthly rent, but I can offer you one month free if you sign an 18-month lease instead of 12. That works out to a savings of about $78 per month.

Great choice. I'll update the lease term. The free month will be applied to your first month, so you'd just pay the security deposit today to move in.
