I actually thought I was purchasing the software which would have typed up many of the sections for me - which would have been nice, but I was very impressed with how well organized and informative the book is.
Many items include the actual state laws regarding rental property which is very helpful because many of the websites are not easy to navigate.

I will be a first time landlord and have done alot of research online as well as other books and had continued to come up short as far as detailed explanations and suggestions. This book is it! It has literally everything you need and is extremely thorough. I borrowed it from the library and have come here to purchase it. I can't do without out it.

I was very satisfied with this book. It was so comprehensive and easy to read -- even for a non-business-oriented, non-real estate-trained person like me. There are examples, thorough explanations, form examples, and perforated, blank forms.I think this book is must-have for every landlord or recommended for those thinking of becoming a property mgr. or landlord.
This book is a life-saver! October 6, 2009

I own a four plex in New Orleans. It's the first rental property I've owned, so I've had to get up-to-speed with contracts, tenants rights, landlord rights and the rest very quickly. I had been jumping around on the internet trying to piece together a coherent rental management strategy, but the information on so many sites is incomplete, geared towards the laws in other states, or just plain wrong. I have muddled through for over a year, but one particularly bad experience with a deadbeat renter made me realize that I have to step-up my game.
I am so glad I found this book, it is exactly what I've needed! It takes you through the things you should know and even breaks down certain things, like deposit laws and required landlord disclosures by state. Deposit laws and disclosures are a good example of things that I previously didn't realize I am required by law to handle in a certain way.
The book is straight-forward and well-organized. It's written in a "just-the-facts, ma'am" way that gets to the core of the issue without a lot of chatter. A CD is included with boilerplate contracts and forms and the book gives you clear instructions about how and when to use each document. If you lose the CD, the book includes "tear-out" versions of each of the documents on the disc as a back-up.
Leases & Rental Agreements stops short of any discussion of how to evict a tenant, but that's a separate issue and NOLO has an entire book on just that subject. Unfortunately, the eviction book is just for California Every Landlord's Legal Guide so it won't help me in New Orleans.
I couldn't be happier with this great resource.
