....Of Course--ASAP!! 
I have googled for this and the choices are pretty overwhelming--so I hope someone will point me to where I need to go. I haven't been involved in a rental for 30 years--and given the potential nightmares ala the Nanny thread I really want to cover all bases. We are in NC.
What I've got: Two acres, with a house, oversized garage, and 1300sf barn structure. I have my building tools, he is a mechanic and will also require some use of that garage for tool storage. We have discussed limiting the number of vehicles under construction--as well as not doing complete engine rebuilds in the yard.
There is a 24' above ground pool w/deck which is currently out of use but soon to be rebuilt.
The barn is what's in play, having been built on a pad presumably for future MIL use before we purchased the property. It has separate electrical service and septic system. I've got a friend w/family who is helping to complete it, potentially moving in within a week. He has largely invested sweat equity but also had a phone line installed and bought some supplies.
To begin with we need is a basic contract, appropriate to NC, could be online if anyone can recommend one. Maybe a yearly lease--with allowance for cost of living increases? Protection for both sides, scheduled payments/penalties, owner and rentor responsibilities (maybe as simple as who maintains the grass I guess--it's a common lawn). Restrictions on tenant numbers? Animals? Bonfire restrictions! (there's actually one of those set up after the most recent ice storm)
Insurance recommendations and liability concerns--particularly given that pool. Restrictions on the pool--this is a pretty large family locally. Again--insurance an/or disclaimer for liability on that pool.
I don't even know what all to ask about--and I'm happy to go with online forms if anbody can point me to good ones which are case/state specific. The choices are pretty overwhelming to a novice!
Thanks!
