Renting a House or Apartment

A lease is an agreement between a landlord and a tenant. In the agreement, the landlord gives temporary possession of an apartment, house or property to the tenant in exchange for rent. Rent is usually money but can be property or services. Different laws may apply to manufactured home residents in manufactured home communities.
