Lease and rental agreements may be relatively short and basic, or they may be pages long with numerous details and legalese that make them nearly impossible to understand. Regardless of how they are written and how detailed they are, they will contain legally binding stipulations regarding the terms of a lease or rental, such as the length of the contract, the payment amount, when payment is due, and more. You should never enter into such an agreement without a full understanding of what’s at stake.
