Simple Lease Agreement
Simple Lease Agreement
The following Lease Agreement, which will from this point forward be referred to as "Agreement," has been entered into as of the specified date, August 21, 2050. The parties involved in this Agreement are the following entities.
Landlord:
[Your Name]
San Francisco, CA 94103
Tenant:
Jane Doe
San Francisco, CA 94103
1. Introduction
This Agreement has laid out the terms and conditions that the landlord agrees to follow in order to lease the property that is described as follows, to the tenant whose details have been disclosed in this document.
2. Leased Property
The Landlord is leasing the property located at San Francisco, CA 94103 (the "Property") to the Tenant under the terms outlined in this Agreement.
3. Term
The lease commences on September 1, 2050, and lasts for 12 months, but may be terminated early as per the terms of this Agreement.
4. Rent
The Tenant agrees to pay a monthly rent of $2,500, due on the 1st day of each month. Payments shall be made in advance to the Landlord as specified.
5. Inspections
The landlord possesses the right to conduct inspections of the property. However, it's important to note that this right is governed by a provision that he or she must give the tenant a sufficient amount of advanced notice prior to the inspection.
There is also a further expectation tied to these landlord inspections. It is anticipated that the inspections should be strategically scheduled during hours that would fall under what the majority would deem as reasonable or acceptable.
6. Tenant Improvements
The individual who rents the property, or more formally known as the tenant, is stringently barred from implementing any updates or changes to the premises. This could include any of the following: alterations, additions, or enhancements of any form.
This specific regulation is in effect for changes of all degrees, which involves those that are minor in nature as well as those that can be classified as major modifications.
This rule will only be circumvented in situations where the landlord, who harbors legal possession and authority over the property, explicitly provides permission in written form, ahead of time.
This clearly lays down that without prior written consent from the landlord, tenants must not make alterations to the property on their own accord.
7. Utilities and Other Charges
Throughout the duration of the leasing period for which this agreement remains valid and in effect, all costs that are directly related to the utilities such as electricity, water, gas, and other forms of utility that are needed for the Property will be borne solely by the Tenant.
Additionally, any and all other charges that can be associated with the Property as the direct or indirect result of the tenant enjoying his rights to the property will also be paid in full by the Tenant.
It is hereby clearly and unequivocally stated that the Tenant is fully aware of this responsibility and undertakes to fulfill it diligently.
8. Insurance
According to the specific conditions outlined within the lease agreement, it is absolutely mandatory and non-negotiable that the tenant obtains and maintains the appropriate level of insurance coverage.
This insurance plays a crucial role as it needs to specifically cover all personal belongings that the tenant has situated within the property that is being rented. This measure, while it may seem cumbersome, is absolutely necessary in providing a level of protection and security that they would otherwise be without.
This insurance will shield the tenant from any potential financial losses or expensive damage that could transpire during the course of their lease in the rented property.
The purpose of this provision is to ensure that their personal belongings and their financial stability are not put in jeopardy in case unforeseen damages or losses occur.
9. Attorney Fees
In the event that there may be any legal disputes or disagreements originating from or pertaining to this Agreement, the party that emerges victorious or successful in said disputes or disagreements reserves the right to recoup or recover the expenses incurred during the legal proceedings.
These expenses may include but are not limited to reasonable attorney or legal representation fees, along with any associated, related, or corresponding costs or charges incurred as a direct result of or throughout the legal process.
10. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
11. Amendment of Lease
This Agreement will not be recognized or deemed as validly modified or amended if the modifications or amendments in question are not explicitly delineated in written form.
Furthermore, in order to provide the necessary legal and binding force to these changes, it is mandatory that these written changes, alterations, or modifications be ratified and confirmed through the provision of the signatures of both parties who are a part of this Agreement.
Without these signatures, the written changes will not be considered valid, regardless of the clarity or explicit detail of the modifications in the written format.
12. Assignment and Subletting
In this agreement, the individual or party who is identified as the Tenant is clearly stated as being unable to assign or transfer this Agreement to another individual or entity. Also, it is forbidden for the Tenant to sublet the Property, which includes renting it to any other individual or company.
To perform any of the above-mentioned actions, the Tenant must first secure written consent from the Landlord. This consent should be sought and obtained well in advance of any proposed assignment or subleasing activities.
Therefore, the Tenant is expressly and strictly prohibited from carrying out such acts without the Landlord's prior written approval.
13. Damage to Property
The person who holds possession of the property by virtue of being a tenant is the one who will shoulder the responsibility for any harm, damage, or destruction that might possibly happen to the property.
This obligation and duty to keep the property safe and secure is of particular importance and relevance in scenarios and situations where the cause of the damage or the destruction of the property can be directly attributed to the tenant's carelessness, negligence, or deliberate and willful conduct that is clearly intended to bring about such harm, damage or destruction to the property.
This responsibility places a burden on the tenant to act in a responsible manner and take due care of the property to prevent any harm or damage from occurring.
14. Care and Use of Property
The current Tenant, who is at present the lease-holder of the property, has a duty to solely utilize the said property for purposes that are classified as residential.
Furthermore, any activities or actions undertaken by the tenant while on the property must be fully within the boundaries of legality.
This means no activities or actions that breach the law in any way, shape, or form will be condoned or accepted on the property under any circumstances, and there shall be no allowances or exceptions made for behavior deemed illegal.
