Answer 3

Every State in U.S. has several websites of several entities, where you can find some legal booklets about landlord/tenant's rights. For example on website of Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut, Inc.  you can find booklets on housing, completely free. If you need sample of contracts you can find (paying a small charge) some  contract ready to use. It's just necessary to fill it out and print it out. For example on the website of USlegalformscom you can buy several forms you need during the several stages of lease life, choosing your State (i.e CT, MA or something else). For example you can buy "Connecticut Residential Landlord Tenant Rental Lease Forms and Agreements Package" for a small amount.
