A tenant rents a house on a handshake. Before long, the rent is behind.

An oral residential lease with rent behind. A written lease, which sets its own fee terms, and the eviction that may follow are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
