What to cover on a lease agreement
A lease puts both parties’ names, the address, the deposit and the payment account on the same page. Cover the sensitive parts before the file leaves you.

What to cover
Anything the recipient did not ask for is safer covered.
| Item | Why cover it | How to cover it |
|---|---|---|
| Both parties’ ID numbers | Enough to attempt identity fraud against either side | Cover them, leaving the last 4 digits at most |
| Home address | Exposes where the tenants live | Cover it when the recipient does not need it |
| Deposit and account number | Reveals how much moved and where it went | Leave the last 4 digits only |
| Special clauses | Private terms agreed between two parties | Cover clauses unrelated to the purpose |

Frequently asked questions
Can I cover the whole contract?
If the parties need identifying, leave the names and part of the address.
Do I need to redact for a letting agent?
Leave only what the agent asked for and cover the rest.
What about signatures?
For proof of contract, keep them. For an informal share, covering them is fine.
