Property Rental Agreement Options

Summary

Use and Occupancy Agreements are ideal for short-term arrangements, avoiding formal landlord-tenant relationships and simplifying eviction. Lease Backs offer more protection with formal agreements, suitable for longer terms. For short-term needs, Use and Occupancy is recommended, but ensure clear terms to avoid issues. Key terms include duration, payment, utilities, maintenance, insurance, access, eviction, property condition, and dispute resolution.
