What are the stipulations in a rental agreement?

Not all rental agreements are the same. No answer to this question will cover rental agreements across the board, but you can and should expect the following stipulations, among others: 1. Length of the rental. Your rental agreement will tell you whether you're a month-to-month tenant or leasing the property. 2. Deposits and fees and under what conditions they may or may not be refunded should you leave. 3. Rental fees. It should clearly state how much rent is per month, when it's due, and what the late fees are. 4. Name, address, and contact information of the landlord.
