Most landlord–tenant conflicts are not malice but vague contracts read two ways. A clear, mutual lease is the best protection for both.
Most problems end at the deposit. State how many months, when it returns, and what may be deducted. Landlords should not charge for normal wear; tenants should photograph the unit and record meters on day one.
| Clause | Why |
|---|---|
| Term and rent | Stops mid-term hikes |
| Deposit and return | Fewer move-out disputes |
| Repair responsibility | Splits major vs consumable |
| Termination | Sets notice period |
Tenants: do not sign away your deposit in all cases. Landlords: screen tenants and always use a written contract, even with acquaintances.
