Rental Agreements
The tenancy contract or rental agreement is a legally binding contract that allows the tenant to use a property for a particular purpose and specified time period. The agreement details out all the lease terms and the mutually agreed-upon expectations and requirements of both parties. Having a formal rental agreement helps to prevent misunderstandings and future disputes that may occur.
