About this lease
This is a long form version of a lease, drawn to give the landlord maximum control over the terms of the lease. It is written in plain English, with full provisions including guarantor and a choice of over 30 covenants that control how the tenant must maintain the property.
The law in this lease
There are many lease agreements on the Internet, varying in price and quality. Most are short form, around 500 words (a quarter of the size of this one), and cover only the basic terms to create a lease. Residential lease agreements are generally governed by the provisions of the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999, and Consumer Protection Act 2008 also apply to lease agreement. A landlord and tenant may agree to additional terms. As a landlord, you will know that the purpose of an agreement is to protect you against whatever might go wrong. The more comprehensive lease agreement is, the more it defines rights in this agreement, favouring you as a landlord) and leaves less room for subjective interpretation by your tenant or a judge.

Comprehensive, easily understood, can be amended, reduced or expanded if desired.
Reasonably priced and ideal for both landlord and tenant.

Review of the Ireland version
It was just by chance I found your website. I was desperately trawling the net for a template that would afford me the confidence to customise my own lease. Irish law has changed so I needed this to ensure I was in compliance. I was able to download in 1 minute and draw up a lease in no time. This is the best investment I made in years. Thank you! Brilliant service. Very Highly recommended.
