My husband and I own two rental houses, when we began renting them out I downloaded a standard rental agreement from the state of Oregon housing authority.  It does not protect us very well if our tenants trash the place so I need one that will.  I am willing to pay for this service, I just do not know how to find help.

You can customize your lease from there. However, some states, like NY, only allow so much of a security deposit. Typically only one months rent. I'd check your local laws first.

The way to protect yourself is to get the best tenants you can. An interview, references from their past landlords, and asking them why they are moving is a good start.

Also write in semi-annual inspections. That way you can get in the place every 6 months and see what condition it is in.

Yes, that is key.  Hopefully we will get better tenants.  My husband rented to this family after my objections and he has even said, "you were right dear."  I probably won't always be right though.  
Thanks for the link.

Hi, check in the Oregon Home Town Forum, ask for references to a good RE attorney in your area. Also do an internet search for a RE board in Oregon and see if they have a sample lease agreement form.
Best of luck.

I think Oregon has specific laws. I would certainly get an Oregon specific form if you use an online source. You may want to talk to a Oregon lawyer

Yes I looked at the build a form but I would prefer an attorney. I live pretty rurally so I haven't really found anyone locally. I did call the attorney referral and they are searching
