      Standard forms cannot be edited, saved or copied and pasted. What should be the most useful part ofby bronzenose

      July 12, 2009: The sample forms do not read quite the way that the book says they should and some name AmerUSA as agent (importantly for background checks). If you want to change something that simple or add a sentence of your own, you have to start from scratch because the forms are PDFs and cannot be edited or saved (even with Adobe's very expensive Acrobat Pro).

      The text of the book is about three times as long as it should be. Pointless anecdotes and tiresome repetition make the read a chore. In one place I saw an anecdote and elsewhere I saw something which said the same thing as was written somewhere else. Then there was the page with an uninformative first-hand story which repeated what the text said. I also saw a paragraph which just said the same as the previous one. (Really, that's what it's like).

      That said, it might be the best book on the subject - I just couldn't bear to read another to find out.

      January 10, 2009: The CDROM is a definite bonus. It has forms and agreements, plus additional tenant screening resources. The book is a breeze to read offering step-by-step lease agreement drafting along with a guide to understanding credit report, eviction record and criminal record results. Strongly recommend the American Landlord Law book too for a thorough guide to landlord and tenant rights.

      I Also Recommend: American Landlord Law.
