The agreement typically includes important details such as the duration of the lease, the amount of rent to be paid, the payment schedule, security deposit requirements, maintenance responsibilities, and any restrictions or limitations imposed on the use of the space. It also covers provisions related to utilities, insurance requirements, parking, and any penalties or remedies for violations of the agreement.

The costs are divided between the landlord and the tenant based on certain allocations specified in the agreement. 4.
