Common mistakes
-
Incomplete Information: Many individuals forget to fill in all required fields. Missing names, addresses, or dates can delay the processing of the lease.
-
Incorrect Dates: Entering the wrong start or end date for the lease term is a common mistake. Double-check these dates to avoid confusion later.
-
Failure to Specify Terms: Not clearly outlining the rental amount, payment due dates, or security deposit can lead to misunderstandings between the parties.
-
Omitting Signatures: Some people forget to sign the agreement. Without signatures from both parties, the lease may not be legally binding.
-
Ignoring Local Laws: Each state may have specific regulations regarding garage leases. Not adhering to these laws can result in unenforceable agreements.
-
Neglecting to Read the Entire Agreement: Skimming through the document can lead to missing important clauses or conditions that could affect the lease.
-
Not Keeping a Copy: After filling out the form, failing to keep a copy for personal records can create issues if disputes arise later.
