You need to be VERY careful. Consult a lawyer. Credit reports can be obtained over the Internet for free, so the person who wishes to rent from you should give a copy to you. Good Luck!!

You can certainly create your own, but by the same token, you can also take out your own appendix. I would suggest deferring to someone who has some experience in what can go wrong, and how to protect you and avoid problems.

Hello. Most office supply
stores sell standard blank
lease contracts. However, I
suggests that you retain an
attorney to draft this for
you and execute it with his/her supervision to make
sure that you are legally protected to the fullest extent possible.
