Why Not Use a Free Template?

Generic templates can cost you thousands.

A lease missing required state disclosures can be thrown out in court. Wrong notice periods can invalidate an eviction. Our drafts are tailored to your specific state — a stronger starting point than a one-size-fits-all template.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

To create a lease agreement online, choose your state, answer 12 plain-English questions about the landlord, tenant, property address, rent, security deposit, lease term, and pet and smoking policies, then review the details and download the finished document. LeaseHelper assembles the required clauses and state-specific disclosures for you, so an online lease agreement takes about 4 minutes instead of the hours a blank template costs. You pay $39 once, after you have reviewed your details and before you download.
LeaseHelper uses AI to draft a lease tailored to your state from the details you enter, designed to include common state-specific terms and disclosures. It is a customizable starting point, not legal advice or a guarantee of compliance. Always review your lease and verify it meets current local laws before use, and consult an attorney for complex situations.
LeaseHelper charges a one-time fee of $39 per lease. No subscription, no recurring fees, no account required. Compare that to alternatives that typically run more — LegalZoom around $99-200, Rocket Lawyer around $40/month, or a real estate attorney often $300-500. You pay once and own your lease forever.
Yes — you can generate a lease for any of the 50 states, including California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and every other state. Each draft is tailored to your specific state and designed to include common state-specific terms such as security deposit provisions, return timelines, entry notice, and disclosures. Review and verify these against your state's current rules before use.
Your lease includes: parties and property details, lease term and rent amount, security deposit terms per your state law, late fee policy, pet policy, utilities, maintenance responsibilities, entry notice requirements, no-smoking and subletting rules, state-required disclosures, termination notice requirements, and signature lines for all parties. A move-in condition checklist is also included at no extra charge.
Yes. LeaseHelper supports both fixed-term leases (1 year, 6 months, or custom duration) and month-to-month leases. The correct termination notice requirements for your state are automatically included in the agreement.
The entire process takes about 4 minutes. Answer 12 plain-English questions about your property, tenant, and preferences. Your complete lease agreement is then generated in a minute or two. No legal knowledge required.

State-Specific Lease Agreement Templates — All 50 States

A residential lease agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and tenant that outlines the terms and conditions of renting a property. Every state has its own landlord-tenant laws that govern what must and cannot be included in a lease agreement. Using a generic lease template that does not account for your state's specific requirements can result in unenforceable clauses, fines, and legal liability.

California Lease Agreement Requirements

California lease agreements must include specific disclosures including the Megan's Law disclosure, lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 properties, bedbug disclosure, and information about the owner or authorized agent. Under AB 12 (effective July 1, 2024), California limits security deposits to one month's rent, furnished or unfurnished. A narrow exception lets a small landlord — a natural person or an LLC owned entirely by natural persons, owning no more than two residential rental properties totaling no more than four units — charge up to two months' rent, but never when the tenant is an active-duty service member. Landlords must return security deposits within 21 days of move-out with an itemized statement. Read our full California lease agreement requirements guide, or the California required lease disclosures checklist.

Texas Lease Agreement Requirements

Texas residential lease agreements must comply with the Texas Property Code. Security deposits have no statutory limit in Texas but must be returned within 30 days of move-out. Texas requires landlords to disclose if the property is in a 100-year flood plain. Late fees in Texas are presumed reasonable up to 12% of monthly rent for buildings with four or fewer units (10% for larger buildings). Read our full Texas lease agreement requirements guide, or the Texas required lease disclosures checklist.

Florida Lease Agreement Requirements

Florida lease agreements must include the landlord's name and address or the name of the authorized agent. Florida does not cap the security deposit amount, but the deposit must be returned within 15 days if the landlord makes no claim, or the landlord must send written notice of an intended claim by certified mail within 30 days. Read our full Florida lease agreement requirements guide, or the Florida required lease disclosures checklist.

New York Lease Agreement Requirements

New York residential leases have some of the most complex requirements in the country. New York requires a lease to include a notice of the tenant's right to request an inspection before move-out. Security deposits are limited to one month's rent statewide and must be held in a separate account. Read our full New York lease agreement requirements guide.

Illinois Lease Agreement Requirements

Illinois residential lease agreements must comply with the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) in Chicago and similar local ordinances elsewhere in Cook County. Chicago has additional requirements including mandatory lease rider disclosures, security deposit interest requirements, and specific move-in fee limits. Downstate Illinois follows general state law with fewer restrictions.

Washington State Lease Agreement Requirements

Washington State residential leases must include specific information about the landlord's name and address, conditions under which the landlord may enter, and tenant rights under the Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act. Security deposits must be held in a trust account and, since a 2023 amendment to RCW 59.18.280, returned with a full statement and documentation within 30 days after move-out.

Colorado Lease Agreement Requirements

Colorado lease agreements must comply with the Colorado Revised Statutes on landlord-tenant law. Colorado has capped security deposits at two months' rent since August 7, 2023 (C.R.S. § 38-12-102.5). HB25-1249, effective January 1, 2026, changed how a deposit must be returned — it did not change the cap. Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days of the lease ending, or up to 60 days if the lease specifies a longer period.

What is a lease agreement generator?

A lease agreement generator is an online tool that builds a complete residential lease from a short set of questions about your property, tenant, and rental terms — with no template to download, edit, or reformat. LeaseHelper works as a lease generator, rental agreement generator, and lease creator in one: you answer 12 plain-English questions and it drafts a state-specific lease agreement you can review, download, and sign. Whether you call it a lease maker, a rent agreement generator, or a rental lease creator, the goal is the same — a professional, ready-to-sign agreement without paying an attorney to start from scratch.

How to generate a lease agreement online

To generate a lease agreement, choose the lease document, answer questions about the landlord, tenant, property address, monthly rent, security deposit, lease term, and pet and smoking policies, then review your details and download the finished lease. The generator assembles the required clauses and state-specific disclosures automatically, so you can create a rental agreement online in minutes instead of piecing one together from a generic form. It handles both fixed-term and month-to-month agreements for all 50 states.

AI rental agreement generator

LeaseHelper is an AI rental agreement generator: instead of handing you a blank template to fill in, it reads the answers you give and drafts the actual clause language for your state. That is the difference between a form and a generator — a form makes you decide what a Texas late-fee clause should say, while an AI generator writes one that reflects the § 92.019 cap and then shows it to you for review. You can create a rental agreement online for any of the 50 states, download it, and sign it the same day. Because it drafts rather than fills, it also handles the combinations a fixed template cannot: a month-to-month tenancy with pets in a rent-controlled city, or a fixed-term lease with a co-signer and a partial-utility split.

Every draft is a starting point you review, not legal advice. AI writes the first version; you confirm the names, figures, and dates before you pay, and you should verify anything unusual against your state's current statute or with a local attorney.

Legitimate lease agreements only

LeaseHelper produces legitimate, legally structured residential lease agreements for real landlords and property managers. It is not a tool for creating fake, forged, or fraudulent lease documents, and it should not be used to misrepresent a tenancy. Every lease generated here is a genuine agreement intended to be signed by an actual landlord and tenant.

Month-to-Month Lease Agreement

A month-to-month lease agreement renews automatically each month and can be terminated by either party with proper notice. Most states require 30 days notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. LeaseHelper generates both fixed-term and month-to-month lease agreements for all 50 states.

What to Include in a Residential Lease Agreement

Every residential lease agreement should include the names of all tenants and the landlord, the property address, the lease start and end date, the monthly rent amount and due date, the security deposit amount and conditions for return, the late fee policy, rules about pets, smoking, subletting and alterations, maintenance responsibilities, entry notice requirements, and the conditions under which the lease can be terminated.

Lease agreement requirements by state

Every state sets its own rules on security deposits, late fees, entry notice, and mandatory disclosures — and a lease that ignores them can be unenforceable in court. Pick your state below for the specific requirements, then generate a lease that already has them built in.
