Ensuring rental agreements include required disclosures is crucial for compliance with landlord-tenant law because these disclosures are often mandated by state and federal regulations. They ensure that tenants are fully informed about their rights, property conditions, and other significant factors that could affect their tenancy. Compliance with these regulations helps protect both the landlord and tenants, reducing the potential for disputes and legal issues. Having all necessary disclosures documented in the rental agreement provides a transparent and legally sound basis for the rental relationship, facilitating smoother interactions and minimizing the chance of violations that could lead to legal repercussions.

While understanding market rates for rent, conducting background checks on tenants, and establishing new marketing strategies are important aspects of managing rental properties, they do not directly pertain to legal compliance in the same way that including required disclosures in rental agreements does.
