Where can I find a simple contract for a caretaker/rental agreement?


My co-worker is renting her trailer on her property to a gentleman that will be paying a small rent and be taking care of her birds/etc., on the property while she works. She wants to write something simple, but that covers her liability-wise. He will basically be receiving rent-free place to live, paying his utilities, and taking care of her critters. She doesn’t want it actually to be ‘rent’, but something like "allowed to live".

she can write her own contract, and she wants to make sure all of the things that are expected of the tenant are spelled so as to not leave any doubt
she also needs to make it very explicit what the rent is etc,, in other words he is performing actions which will be considered as rent
she needs to specify about the care of the critters, inspections etc so he cannot just neglect them etc.
she probably needs to set a term of this lease and the reasons for terminating prior to the date, if other conditions are not fulfilled.

how do i make a claim on line to a Texas small claims court?

    She should contact a realtor or go online and get a copy of a lease agreement where he pays nothing and as an addenda he is to care for the animals. Most leases require the tenant to maintain utilities at all times. As a precaution she could have him sign a quit claim deed which means he has no interest in the property. She should also get a deposit from him. She can probably get a simple lease agreement from legalzoom.com.
