This review is from: The Landlord's Book of Forms and Agreements (Paperback)

This book is a must have for a new landlord. The author has taken the time to organize the book into specific sections for critical details to be read though easily without having to read the entire book (i.e. Screening tenants, leases, etc.). The CD has a variety of forms in Word format that can easily be modified to fit your individual needs.

This book was very useful to me in making out a rental agreement and a sales agreement. It brought out some issues that I would have overpassed.

This review is from: The Landlord's Book of Forms and Agreements (Paperback)

Looking for typical vacation rental agreements, which was not covered very well in this book. This book seems to focus more on long-term rentals from a landlord's perspective.
