How much does a real estate attorney charge to review a home rental lease agreement?

I'm assuming that the lease agreement is not one of the generally accepted pre printed leases that just about every landlord uses. If it is one of these, if your fairly smart you can easily understand it. Most of it is just legal verbage that has to be in there. Just look at where the fill in the blanks are.





If it is not one of those, then you should hire a lawyer to read over it. Usually this happens when the landlord wants to slip some questionalbe fees or requirements into the lease.





However, the cost of a lawyer varies from location to location. You could try and see if where you live is a free legal assistance branch of the local governemt.How much does a real estate attorney charge to review a home rental lease agreement?
Obviously, it depends on the attorney and the complexity of the lease agreement. Often, it'd be in the range of $100-$300. You can probably get a good ballpark estimate by calling up several attorneys on the phone and asking.





If you're a member of one of those pre-paid legal plans (some are better than others), that's usually included in the monthly fee you pay. Many of those plans charge $30-$40 a month.

Probably an hourly rate, $50-150. Call ahead and ask. Often initial consultations are cheap or free.
