Form # Form Name Replaces Revision Date Brief description of how the form was revised
P-6 Notice of Termination and Release of Deposit 12/20 This form was updated to include "and" at the end of the final statement between the buyer’s amount and the seller’s amount for clarity.
B-1 Residential Lease 1/24

This form was updated to add the following “Hold Fee” language to address situations where a prospective tenant backs out between signing the lease and the effective date of the lease.

HOLD FEE. Check if applicable: ( ) You have paid the sum of ________________Dollars ($__________) as a non-refundable hold fee to secure the Dwelling from being offered to other prospective tenants; the holding period began on ________________ (date rental application approval) and will end on _______________ (the beginning of the lease term).
   You understand and agree that the hold fee is non-refundable under any circumstances. If You decide not to proceed with renting the Dwelling, the hold fee shall be forfeited in its entirety.
   Upon successful move-in, the hold fee shall be applied towards Your first month’s rent for the Dwelling. It shall not be considered as security deposit or any other form of payment.
   In the event the Lease term starts mid-month, then all excess of the Hold Fee shall be credited towards the following month’s Rent. Your initials: ______________

Additionally, according to a new state law effective 4/1/26, a standardized rental terms summary form has been added as the first page.

 

These changes will be available on DocuSign, dotloop, Glide, Skyslope, Transaction Desk and zipForm on April 1, 2026.
