Build a state-compliant lease in minutes.

Answer a few questions — we apply your state’s deposit caps, late-fee limits, notice periods, and required disclosures automatically, then hand you a signable PDF. Free, no account needed.

Where is the rental property?

The state and city decide which tenancy laws your lease must follow — deposit limits, late-fee caps, notice periods, and required disclosures are applied automatically.

Was it built before 1978?
Pre-1978 housing requires the federal lead-based paint disclosure.

Lease builder questions, answered.

Is the lease builder really free?

Yes — build and download as many leases as you need, no account required. TenantPilot makes money from its property-management platform, not from forms.

How does it handle my state's laws?

We maintain a reviewed rules table for all 50 states and DC covering security-deposit caps, deposit return deadlines, late-fee limits and grace periods, entry-notice requirements, month-to-month termination notice, rent-control status, and every state-mandated disclosure. When you pick the property's state, those rules shape the questions, flag anything non-compliant, and are written into the lease text.

Which disclosures does it include?

The federal lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 housing, plus your state's own list — things like radon, mold, bedbug history, flood risk, deposit-holding notices, and owner/agent identity. Always-required items are pre-selected; conditional ones show the condition so you can decide.

Is the generated lease legal advice?

No. It's a carefully drafted template that applies published state rules (each entry lists its statutes and review date), but laws change and many cities add local ordinances. Have a local attorney review before signing — especially in rent-controlled or just-cause jurisdictions.

Can I e-sign the lease?

The free tool produces a print-ready PDF with signature blocks. E-signatures, renewals, addendums, and rent collection are part of the TenantPilot platform — join the waitlist for free early access.
