Apartment lease contract | Free template

Apartment lease contract is a free template to prepare a firsthand contract between a landlord and tenants. A tenant has the right to obtain a written lease contract regardless of whether the lease is in first hand or second hand.

An apartment lease contract should describe the size of the rent and what is included in the rental price, such as stair cleaning, heating and electricity. The lease contract should include provisions on contract term and notice period. If a lease states that the notice period is longer than three months, then this notice period may be invalid against the tenant. If a lease contract states that the notice period is less than 3 months, then the tenant has the right to such a short notice period when the tenant terminates the lease, but may require three months notice when the landlord terminates the lease.

An apartment lease contract can be concluded for an indefinite period or for a fixed period; a lease for an indefinite period of time must be terminated to expire. A notice of termination shall be in writing.

This template for an apartment lease contract includes a negotiation clause for rental change without notice, provisions for spare key, terrace, rent payments and maintenance. You can use this template to establish a written rental agreement between you as a landlord and one or more tenants for an apartment that you have available for rent.
