The agreement also enables property owners to put certain obligations over the use of the property and mandates a tenant to respect the rental property and refrain from particular activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, here are a few things that landlords should never miss out on while drafting rental agreements:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Name of tenants<\/li><li>Rental Description <\/li><li>Tenancy Duration &amp; Expiration <\/li><li>Rent charges<\/li><li>Mode of payment<\/li><li>Maintenance &amp; repairs <\/li><li>General property rules<\/li><li>Property inspection<\/li><li>Contact information &amp; profile<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Name of the tenants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-4-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Register all the occupants \" class=\"wp-image-73651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-4-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-4-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-4-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-4-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-4-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><br><br>Landlords should make sure all occupants are registered <br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The actual need to include the names of all the tenants occurs when a single tenant fails to pay the rent charges after the due date and several notices. So, every independent adult who is living on a property should be named as a tenant and required to sign the rental agreement. This provides a whole new level of satisfaction and insurance for landlords that no matter what, they will receive their rent. Since each tenant will be legally registered to pay the amount, it can be expected that they will ultimately follow other terms of the lease as well.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a side note, some landlords also set limitations on guests, including it in the agreement that only the registered tenants and their dependents (their family or children) are allowed to reside in the rental property. So, in cases where a tenant moves in a sublet without a homeowner\u2019s consent, they can rightfully file a lawsuit against such renters and terminate the lease agreement immediately. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rental description<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a landlord, you would want to avoid all such situations that raise red flags against your property or the tenant\u2019s use of the property. So, it\u2019s best to mention the complete property address, the property spaces that tenants are allowed to use, and the ones they are not allowed to enter. It implies especially to bigger properties and buildings where landlords have multiple properties available on rent. This factor enables property owners to enjoy their privacy with the surety that the remaining empty spaces are protected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tenancy duration &amp; expiration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-7-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Expiration date can help both parties  \" class=\"wp-image-73656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-7-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-7-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-7-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-7-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-7-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Tenancy duration can favour both landlord and tenants <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rental properties have the potential to create a business relationship between tenants and landlords, which is directed by a set of rules, policies, and laws. However, every province in Pakistan has a different set of landlord-tenant laws, but clarifying the tenancy duration is something that is shared by all.&nbsp; <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some rental agreements are short-term and need to be renewed monthly, yearly, or quarterly, while some are automatically renewed until one of the parties (landlord or tenant) terminates the lease. A property owner should mention the starting date of the agreement, the tenancy duration, and the expiration date in the rental agreement to avoid any confusion in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, according to some legal experts, landlords are obliged to provide an eviction notice of at least 1 month before terminating a rental contract.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rent charges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As obvious as it may sound, rent charges are something that shouldn\u2019t be missed before getting into a rental agreement with someone. Make sure that you have mentioned the rent charges in both numbers and words to avoid getting confused or cheated in the future. For additional security, landlords can also specify whether they would charge a late fee, including the amount of the charges, and the grace period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, the law of tenant rights also states that both parties should agree on the decided rent charges, and nobody has the authority to force the other into a contract.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mode of payment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-3-4-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-3-4-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-3-4-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-3-4-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-3-4-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-3-4-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve mutually agreed upon rent charges and specified it in the rental agreement \u2013 the next step involves nailing down the mode of payment. It mainly consists of the description of how the landlord is going to receive rent from the tenant, and it can be in the form of a cheque, cash, or a bank deposit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Maintenance &amp; repairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule of renting property and tenant rights, additional costs such as taxes, property maintenance, and repairs are paid by landlords. However, it can also entirely depend on the nature of the agreement between the two parties. In order to avoid disputes over damages, it is best to mention the name of the accountable person in the agreement. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>General property rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-5-2-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Make your own set of rules for your property use\" class=\"wp-image-73658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-5-2-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-5-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-5-2-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-5-2-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-2-5-2.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Landlords have complete freedom to make their own set of policies and conditions <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever landlord-tenant law talks in favour of tenant\u2019s rights, it also favours landlord\u2019s rights, which means that the property owner has the liberty to set limitations, policies, and terms over the use of the property. A good example in this regard can be a situation where a landlord is allergic to animals and doesn\u2019t want any animals on their property \u2013 as per the law, they have all the rights to mention this condition or clause in the rental agreement.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Property inspection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all the things to include in the rental agreement, a property inspection is the most crucial one. At times when landlords visit their property for inspection, tenants can be uncomfortable and can be disturbed by the very fact that the landlord is being intrusive. On the other hand, the landlord-tenant law also suggests that a property owner has the right to visit their property. This situation can quickly turn into a property dispute if property inspection is unannounced and close to an intrusion or invasion of privacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cases can turn into severe violations of privacy; however, it can be avoided by clarifying the right to access the rental property. Landlords can mention and provide 24 hours\u2019 notice before entering the property for inspection, repairs, or showing the property to new tenants.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact information &amp; profile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-5-3-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Trust can be built through sharing personal informatio\" class=\"wp-image-73655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-5-3-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-5-3-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-5-3-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-5-3-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-5-3-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sharing profile and personal information is a sign of building trustful relationship <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a trustful relationship is crucial for both parties, and it is only possible when a property owner displays and abides by the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/find-good-landlord.html\" target=\"_blank\">traits of a good landlord<\/a>.
