This document is a
Residential Lease Agreement — it’s a contract between a landlord and a tenant for renting a home or apartment. Since you’re being asked to “solve the problem,” but no specific question was given, I’ll assume you need help understanding how to fill out this form correctly.
Let’s go section by section and explain what each part means and how to complete it:
---
1. PARTIES
You need to write:
- The
Landlord’s full name and their
mailing address.
- The
Tenant’s full name(s) (if more than one tenant, list all).
Example:
*Landlord Name: John Smith*
*Mailing Address: 123 Main St, Anytown, CA 90210*
*Tenant Name(s): Jane Doe*
---
2. PROPERTY
Write the
full address of the rental property (street, city, state, zip).
Then check the box that matches the type of place:
- ☐ Single family → house alone
- ☐ Apartment → unit in a building
- ☐ Condominium → owned unit in a complex
- ☐ Other → if none of the above
---
3. TERM
Fill in the start date and end date of the lease.
Example:
*The Agreement shall begin on _June 1, 2025_ and end on _May 31, 2026_*
---
4. RENT
Write:
- How much rent is due each month (e.g., $1,200)
- What day of the month it’s due (e.g., “1st”)
- When late fees start (e.g., “5 days after the Rent Due Date”)
Example:
*The Tenant shall pay... monthly installments of _$1,200_. The Rent shall be due on the _1st_ of every month... beginning on _June 1, 2025_... late fee applies _5_ days after...*

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Check ONE box:
- ☐ If you ARE paying a deposit: Write the amount (e.g., $1,200)
- ☐ If you are NOT paying a deposit: Check this box instead
Note: Security deposits are usually returned at the end of the lease unless there’s damage.
---
6. SIGNATURES
Both landlord and tenant must sign and print their names, plus add the date they signed.
Example:
*Landlord Signature: [John signs here]
Printed Name: John Smith
Date: May 15, 2025*
Same for Tenant.

✔ This form becomes legal once both parties sign it. Always read carefully before signing!
