Washington Standard Residential Lease Agreement Template
Fill Now!The Washington standard residential lease agreement is used to establish a rental arrangement between a landlord and a tenant. Before accepting an individual as a tenant, the landlord will most likely have interested parties complete a rental application form. Once they have chosen an eligible individual, the new tenant and landlord will look over the written residential lease agreement. The terms and conditions should be fair for both parties before the document is signed. Once the agreement is signed, it becomes legally binding and the landlord will hand the keys over to the tenant.
