Leasing agreements and documentation form the backbone of the contractual relationship between a lessor (property owner) and lessee (tenant). These documents detail the terms, conditions and obligations of both parties involved in a lease agreement. Such agreements typically include information such as the duration of the lease, rental amount, payment terms, property description, tenant’s duties, lessor’s responsibilities, as well as policies on oft-discussed matters like repairs, renovations, pets, and termination.
Additionally, leasing documentation may also vary depending on the type of property being leased. For instance, the lease agreement for commercial property like an office space or retail store may include clauses regarding business operations, signage, and parking. On the other hand, residential lease agreements tend to focus on issues around utilities, maintenance, and residential laws applicable. Regardless of the type, it is essential for both lessor and lessee to carefully review any leasing agreement to ensure comprehension and agreement. Legal assistance can be helpful, and sometimes necessary, for complex leasing situations.
