leases have similar wording and similar clause stipulations. Once the
basic terminology for lease forms are understood, it is easy to
understand the clauses. There are clauses that deal with what
components are maintained by whom, landlord, or tenant. The subject of
fixtures is discussed, so that tenant knows what is allowed to be taken
when the property is vacated. There are often rules regarding how
something becomes a fixture in a residence. It may need to be attached,
and not easily removed without harm to the material surroundings, or if
it is considered built into the structure. Another clause deals with
when landlord is allowed to physically enter the property to inspect or
do other landlord related tasks. There may be a 24 hour notice
necessary before the landlord can enter the tenant's unit.

being taken advantage of by your landlord. Only then should you sign
these legal forms.
