Free. No registration. No card. No catch.
What makes property management contracts different
Residential leases are one of the most state-regulated documents in U.S. law. Security deposit caps vary by state. Required disclosures differ (lead paint, mold, radon, bed bugs). Rent control rules apply in some jurisdictions. A generic template from another state can expose landlords to fines, disputes, and unenforceability.
State-specific security deposit cap. Required disclosures (lead paint, mold, radon, bed bugs — varies by state). Smoking and pet policy. Late rent grace period and fee. Lease renewal and month-to-month holdover terms. Maintenance responsibilities split.
Fixed-term residential lease, month-to-month lease, lease renewal, lease addendum (pet, smoking, parking), short-term rental agreement, and roommate sublease.
BizDraft asks for the state, lease term, rent amount, deposit amount, pet and smoking policy, and any additional provisions — then applies state-specific deposit cap and disclosure requirements.
The property management stack
Generate per property and per tenant. Every tenancy starts with a compliant, state-specific lease.
Main document
Lease term, rent, deposit, late fees, maintenance responsibilities, pet and smoking policy, and holdover terms — with state-specific deposit cap and required disclosures.
Flexible
Flexible tenancy with 30-day notice requirement. Higher monthly rate in exchange for flexibility, automatic renewal, and state-compliant terms.
Add-on
Pet policy, smoking policy, parking, storage, or HOA rules addendum. Attached to the main lease and signed separately for documentation.
Short-term
Stays of 30 days or less. Nightly or weekly rate, house rules, damage deposit, and check-in/check-out terms.
Sublease
Tenant subletting to a roommate with landlord approval. Sublease terms, shared expenses, guest policy, and move-out obligations.
Common deal types
Standard
Standard annual residential lease with state-specific deposit cap, required disclosures, and renewal notice requirement. The most common residential tenancy structure.
Flexible
No fixed term. Either party can terminate with 30-day notice. Higher monthly rate reflects the flexibility. State-compliant notice requirements built in.
STR
Airbnb-style or direct booking under 30 days. Nightly rate, damage deposit, house rules, early departure policy, and check-in/check-out terms.
Renewal
Renewing an existing tenancy at a new rate. Amendment to the original lease, updated rent, updated terms, and acknowledgment of continued disclosure requirements.
Corporate
Tenant is a company (not an individual). Company as guarantor, furnished unit, utilities included, and shorter fixed term at a corporate rate.
The property management risk map
Collecting more than the state allows. Fix: BizDraft applies your state's deposit cap automatically — you enter the amount and the AI flags if it exceeds the legal limit.
Failing to include required state disclosures (lead paint, mold, bed bugs) can void your lease and expose you to fines. Fix: BizDraft includes the required disclosures for your state automatically.
Tenant stays past the lease end with no clear terms. Fix: explicit holdover clause converting to month-to-month at a specified rate, or requiring immediate vacate with defined remedies.
Who's responsible for what repair? Fix: explicit maintenance responsibility section — landlord's obligations vs. tenant's obligations, with notification requirements.
Tenant moves in additional people not on the lease. Fix: occupancy limit and unauthorized occupant clause with defined remedies.
