Rental Agreement
A rental agreement is a contract that establishes the terms under which a property owner permits another party to occupy or use property or an item in exchange for rent. Use this when you're renting out (or renting) property or an item and want clear, signed terms on rent, deposit, the rental period, and who's responsible for damage beyond normal wear.
