The North Carolina Standard Lease Agreement initiates the dedication of acceptance to allow the use of a property by a tenant in exchange for remitted payment to the unit’s owner. Generally, when a landlord lists a property for lease, they will typically advertise the residential dwelling and await an interested individual’s response. After a prospective lessee reaches out to the owner or property management, negotiation of the rental contract terms can occur. The allocated form aids in documenting the arrangement, accounting for various components of the landlord and tenant’s commitment. The lease duration, rental amount, and security deposit are denoted in the written record to hold the parties accountable. Additional references to building guidelines and conduct during the rental period are incorporated into the paperwork. Submitted signatures from all those involved in the transaction will substantiate the provisions therein.

Rental Application – Screening of applicants for tenancy is a standard prerequisite process to gaining occupancy. The form provides the landlord with the information needed to verify a possible tenant’s identity and history to evaluate the individual’s eligibility to rent.
