a) What is a lease agreement?
A lease agreement is simply a contract between a landlord and a tenant that states what the tenant will pay monthly for rent and for how long. Lease agreements, like many contracts, tend to intimidate some people because much of the language in the contract can be confusing. However, if you have a basic understanding of what is included in a lease agreement, it can help you avoid unnecessary disagreements or expenditures during or after your lease is over.

b) What does a lease agreement outline?
The lease agreement outlines and details the obligations and responsibilities of the landlord (lessor) and the tenant (lessee). It explains what the landlord and tenant have agreed upon in regards to length of the lease, how much the monthly rent will be, and who will be responsible for upkeep of the property. It is important for tenants to understand that a lease agreement can be altered prior to being signed. If there is something that you do not understand or agree to, or if there is a provision that needs to be altered, discuss it with the landlord prior to signing the lease.

c) Is a lease agreement legally binding?
Once your lease agreement is signed, it governs what the landlord and the tenant can and cannot do during the term of the lease. The lease agreement acts as a legal, binding contract between the landlord and tenant and will be used as such by the court if any legal proceedings arise between the two parties. If there is more than one tenant responsible for the lease, a landlord can enforce the lease against all the tenants should the need arise, so it is important for everyone involved to understand what their responsibilities are under the terms of the lease.
