About this statute

This Act lets parties use and adapt short-form deed, mortgage, and lease templates, and says the listed forms have the effect set out in the Schedules. The lessee must not assign, transfer, or sublet the premises without the lessor’s written consent, must keep the premises in good repair, and must return them in good substantial repair at the end of the term, subject to listed wear-and-tear exceptions. The lessor may re-enter if rent is unpaid for 15 days or the lessee breaches the covenants, and the lessee is entitled to quiet enjoyment if rent and covenants are performed.
