Rental Agreement: templates and forms
4 forms available to fill out or download.
Commercial lease
For a shop, a studio, a warehouse or an office. What sets it apart from a residential lease is purpose: the premises are taken for a particular activity, the permits for that activity are the tenant's, and any improvements the tenant makes have to be agreed in advance — otherwise they stay with the property and are not paid for. The contract settles all three separately.
Garage or parking space rental agreement
Letting a garage or a parking space works differently from letting a home: what matters is the number of the space, how access is given, and what may be done inside. The contract limits use to parking, rules out storing flammable materials and carrying out repairs, and lists the keys, fobs and remotes handed over, which are returned when it ends.
Car rental agreement between private individuals
The contract for letting out a passenger car between private individuals. The terms that are usually missing, and that later cause the argument, are separate clauses here: who is allowed to drive the car, how far it may be taken, whose account the fuel is on, and who pays the fines for offences committed during the term — including the ones that arrive months later.
Residential tenancy agreement
The full tenancy agreement between private individuals: what is let, for how long, at what rent, who pays the utilities and how it is brought to an end. The deposit is tied to a handover record, which is the one thing that later settles an argument about whose it is. The agreement provides for a record both on moving in and on moving out.
