The lease agreement is primarily designed to protect the interests of the landlord, offering them a transparent and landlord-friendly long-form document with clear terms and conditions. However, the template also includes several optional provisions that cater to the tenant's interests, allowing them to negotiate certain terms and potentially make the lease agreement more tenant-friendly. These optional provisions can be customized and added based on the specific needs and preferences of the tenant.
