Smart Strategies for Secure Renting: Protecting Your Lease and Your Rights

Definitely read any lease you plan on signing. Keep your lease in a safe place preferably in a physical folder or stored digitally with backups.

Keeping these documents will give you much more confidence when discussing disagreements with your landlord.
