QUESTION: Dear Legal Wiz,
I have decided to allow one of my cousins to stay on my property in Saint Elizabeth as I can’t live two places and I only need to travel sometimes. Can you assist with a lease? Is there anything else you think I need to do?
Michael Shu
RESPONSE:
Dear Michael Shu,
Our team can assist with drafting a lease for a fee. However we recommend a site visit to assess the condition of the and details of property being leased, whether you are charging monies or not. Information you will be asked to consider, discuss and provide include:
length of time, terms of agreement, conditions of house, expenses, responsibilities such as repairs, bills such as utilities, termination method, yard clean up.
