Free New Jersey lease agreement, built for your tenant and address

Answer a few questions and get a New Jersey residential lease with your tenant, your address, and the disclosures New Jersey law calls for written in. We wrote it to the statute; a New Jersey attorney has not reviewed it yet, so read it before you rely on it. When it reads right, send it to your tenant to sign online. Building it is free, with no credit card and no account to start.

How it works

Answer a few questions. Property address, tenant names, rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease actually turns on. About five minutes, one topic at a time.
Watch the lease fill in. The real New Jersey document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before anyone signs.
Send it for signing. Your tenant signs online, from any phone. Sending it sets up your PropManager account, free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Common questions

Is the New Jersey lease really free?

Building it is free, with no account and no credit card. To send it to your tenant for e-signature you create a PropManager account, which is free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Is it reviewed by a New Jersey attorney?

No. PropManager Editorial wrote it, and the template is current through the 2026 session of the 222nd Legislature and verified against the Legislature's own compiled statute text and enrolled chapter laws. It is an informational starting point, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed New Jersey attorney reviewing your situation.

Can I edit the lease?

You set the terms by answering the questions: rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease turns on. The document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before you send it. The wizard is not a free-form editor.

Does it work outside New Jersey?

No. This template is New Jersey-specific. Other states have their own templates, linked below. For a state we have not written yet, the wizard gives you our general-use lease and says so plainly.

What if my state is not covered yet?

You can still build and send a lease: the wizard gives you our general-use lease and tells you so plainly. Leave your email and we tell you when your state's own lease is ready. Covered states are listed at the bottom of this page.
