A free Ohio rental and lease agreement template can be used to prepare a rental or lease contract between a lessor and a tenant. Once the lessee has viewed the premises and is satisfied and has agreed on a monthly rent with the lessor, they will usually complete a rental application that allows the landlord to confirm their income and background information. As soon as the contract is signed by both parties, it becomes legally binding.
