If you are a Landlord and wish to rent an apartment to a Tenant, you should make sure you have an Apartment Lease. This document should be in writing and must be signed by the Landlord and the Tenant(s). The Apartment Lease should clearly state everyone's responsibilities and rights. It should also set forth all the terms and conditions that have been agreed on by all the parties such as rental amounts, rental periods, deposits, defaults and more.
