What is a Lease Agreement?

A lease agreement (or rental agreement) is a document that explains the terms under which a tenant rents a residential or commercial property from a landlord. Landlord is the owner of the property, whereas the tenant is the one who is willing to take the property from the landlord. The terms are set where the tenant has to pay on a monthly basis. The rented property belongs to the tenant under set rules and regulations set by the tenant and the landlord.

What is a Fixed-Term Rental Lease?

This is a most commonly used rental lease. As the name suggests, the fixed-term rental lease has a fixed duration set by the landlord with the mutual agreement with the tenant. The landlord cannot claim for evacuating the building till the time mentioned in the dixd-term rental lease. The fixed term can be of one month to even 15 months or more. If you need any change, you have to pay one month’s notice and if you fail to do so, you have to pay some extra fee as the fine for compensation.
