In practice, however, lease agreements are one of the most frequent sources of disputes \u2014 over payments, timelines, termination, damage to the property, deposits and non-performance of obligations. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, a well-drafted contract is the primary guarantee of the protection of your interests and the avoidance of future problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/youradvocare.com\/en\/lease-agreements-why-does-proper-drafting-matter\/#%D0%97%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%BE_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8A%D1%82_%D1%82%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%B1%D0%B2%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%B0_%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B4%D0%B5_%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD_%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%BE\" >Why Does the Contract Need to Be Drafted Carefully?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/youradvocare.com\/en\/lease-agreements-why-does-proper-drafting-matter\/#%D0%A7%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5\" >Risks in Practice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/youradvocare.com\/en\/lease-agreements-why-does-proper-drafting-matter\/#%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BB%D1%8E%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%97%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%BE_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8A%D1%82_%D1%82%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%B1%D0%B2%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%B0_%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B4%D0%B5_%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD_%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%BE\"><\/span><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-kubio-color-2-color\">Why Does the Contract Need to Be Drafted Carefully?<\/mark><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term of the contract should clearly specify whether it is fixed-term or open-ended, when it begins and when it expires, and under what conditions it may be extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rent and payment terms should set out the amount of the rent, the payment deadlines, the bank account details, and the consequences of late payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deposit is one of the most common sources of disputes.
