Lease Templates · 50 States + DC

Lease agreement templates written to your state's law.

A lease is only as good as the state it has to hold up in. Every template here is drafted against a specific state's landlord-tenant statute: the deposit cap, the return deadline, the late-fee rules, the entry notice, and the disclosures that state requires. Read any of them in full before you decide, then fill it in and send it for signature without leaving the page.

Why state-specific

The same clause is fine in Texas and void in California.

Landlord-tenant law is state law, so the rules that matter most to you change at the state line. How much deposit you may hold, how many days you have to return it, whether a late fee has a statutory cap, how much notice you must give before entering, and which disclosures are mandatory are all set by your state's code, not by a national standard. A generic template with the state name typed at the top does not track any of that.

The checklist

What every residential lease has to say.

Whatever state you are in, a lease that cannot answer these questions on its face is the one that costs you later. Each template below covers all of them, then adds whatever else your state requires.

Parties and premisesEvery adult tenant named and jointly liable, and the full address including the unit.
Term and holdoverStart, end, and exactly what happens if the tenant stays past the last day.
Rent, due date, late feeThe amount, the day, the grace period, and a late fee your state actually allows.
Security depositThe amount, where it is held, and the deadline to itemize and return it.
Utilities and maintenanceWho pays for what, and how a repair gets reported and answered.
Entry, pets, and disclosuresNotice before entry, the pet terms, and the disclosures your state mandates.

Reading a template costs nothing and needs no account. Producing the finished, unwatermarked document and sending it for tenant e-signature is part of a Prime plan. These templates are a starting point and not legal advice: if your tenancy is rent-controlled, subsidized, mixed-use, or already in dispute, have a local attorney read it first.

Fill it in, send it, get it back signed.

Pick your state's template, fill it from the tenant and property details you already have, and send it for e-signature with a timestamped audit trail. No per-envelope fee, however many leases you send.
