Lease

A lease is a legally binding contract between a landlord (lessor) and a tenant (lessee) that grants the tenant the right to occupy and use a real property for a specified period in exchange for rent. A lease agreement defines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both parties, allowing a structured and enforceable landlord-tenant relationship. It helps prevent misunderstandings, disputes, and legal issues by outlining payment terms, property maintenance duties, restrictions, and conditions for lease termination.
