Personal Property Rental Agreement

Alternate Names:

A Personal Property Rental Agreement is also known as a:

  • Personal Property Rental Contract
  • Personal Lease Agreement
  • Personal Rental Agreement

What is a Personal Property Rental Agreement?

A Personal Property Rental Agreement is used to detail the terms of the rental of items owned by one party to someone who wishes to use them temporarily.

For example, if your neighbor wants to rent your lawnmower for a season, you can draft a personal rental agreement to outline the terms and obligations for the rental, e.g. lease term, price for the rental, and more. This agreement will keep both parties accountable so neither one takes advantage of the other.

Who are the parties in a Personal Property Rental Agreement?

The two parties in a Personal Property Rental Agreement are a lessor and lessee.

The lessor is the owner of the personal property who is leasing it to another party in exchange for compensation for a specified period of time.

The lessee is the party renting the property from the owner in accordance to the terms of the rental contract.

Why do I need a Personal Property Rental contract?

Often personal lease contracts are made between friends, neighbors, or relatives. In these cases, the parties typically think a written agreement is unnecessary because they know and trust each other.

However, having a written agreement when money and property are changing hands is a good idea so that each party is clear on the terms of the transaction. This can help prevent disputes and encourage good faith between the parties.

With a written Personal Property Rental Agreement, you can specify:

  • Who the lessor (owner) and lessee (renter) are
  • The details of the personal property being rented (model, make, identifying characteristics, etc.)
  • Cash value of the property
  • The lease terms (date range of the rental, price of the rental, damage or security deposit details, etc.)
  • Delivery details, if applicable (who will deliver the property, who will pay for delivery, etc.)
  • Any terms or details regarding warranties or insurance for the rental property
  • Default details, including a grace period or additional fees for failing to pay the rental fee

Related Documents:

  • Bill of Sale: a document that acts as a proof of payment for an item and a transfer of ownership of that item between parties
  • Invoice Form: a written record of goods or services sold or rendered from a seller to a buyer
  • Personal Financial Statement: an organized way to present an individual's financial situation in a written form
  • Sales Agreement: an agreement that details the terms of a transaction between a buyer and a seller
  • Service Agreement: a contract that details the terms of service from a provider to a customer
