The contract should clearly define what is allowed and what is not
allowed. It must include the rent amount, day of starting the rent, name
of family members and other useful information. It is important to clarify that no additional construction and renovation is allowed. Take note that some tenants make improvements that are not allowed. Lastly, get the police verification of the tenants for safety purposes.
