Agreement Free Online Rental

Agreement free online rentals are rare but may be popular in the future, who knows.

In an agreement free online rental, the tenant and landlord meet and decide the terms of their rental agreement online, through the Internet. They may not even need to meet. This kind of an agreement free online rental is extremely useful when the landlord and tenant belong to different countries and live geographically far apart.

If for instance, a tenant in Italy wanted to rent a property in California and the landlord of that property lived in Japan . The tenant could see the property online through virtual walk-through views which show three hundred and sixty degree views of the room and views form the rooms. He or she could then contact the landlord through e-mail and they could reach a mutual agreement.

While this sounds very futuristic, it is important to remember that any agreement that is not formalized on paper may lead directly to court. It is difficult to prove many things in court. Plus, the rules and laws about online content, e-mails and information exchanged over the internet is still being formalized. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to predict how an agreement free online rental case would hold up in court.

If a tenant and landlord do wish to formalize their agreement online, they may do so by signing a document over the Internet. It is not difficult to manage. The landlord and the tenant both scan their signatures and place them on the agreement. Then they can both take printouts of the agreement and keep them for their own record.
