Rental Agreement Templates

Every tenancy runs better with the terms in writing. This collection gathers AFFiNE's free rental agreement templates — basic residential leases, short-term and vacation rental contracts, room rentals, and commercial leases — each structured around the clauses that prevent disputes.

Duplicate a template, fill in the parties, property, term, rent, and deposit, and export a PDF for signature. Plain-language notes flag what varies by jurisdiction, because deposit caps, notice periods, and required disclosures are local law's territory — check yours before signing.

FAQ

What should a rental agreement include?

Parties, property description, term, rent and payment terms, security deposit conditions, maintenance responsibilities, entry-notice rules, and how the agreement ends or renews. Each template covers these in its own section.

What is the difference between a lease and a rental agreement?

In common usage, a lease runs for a fixed term (usually a year) while a rental agreement often means month-to-month. The document structure is the same — what changes is the term section and the notice rules around ending it.

Are these templates valid in my state or country?

They cover the standard structure, but local law adds requirements — disclosures, deposit limits, notice periods — that vary by jurisdiction. Use the template as the base, then check local rules or have it reviewed for anything high-stakes.
