Keeping Rental Documents Close By
Renter Answers

Professional property managers always put the terms of rental agreements or leases in writing.  While oral rental agreements may be legal, renters should avoid them.  When rental agreements aren't put in writing, the chance of misunderstanding or abuse rises.
         
Even if the rental agreement is not in writing, renters must be provided certain information.  For example, renters must receive the names, phone numbers and addresses of the property manager, the owner or another person authorized to accept legal documents on the owner's behalf, and the person authorized to receive payment of rent.
