The Landlord and Tenant Lease Agreement is a fundamental legal instrument used in the Philippines for establishing rental relationships for both residential and commercial properties. This document is essential when any property owner (landlord) wishes to rent out their property to a tenant under Philippine law. It must comply with various regulations including the Civil Code of the Philippines, the Rent Control Act, and local government requirements. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as rental terms, security deposits, maintenance obligations, and dispute resolution procedures. It's designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with Philippine property and contract laws. This document type is particularly important given the growing real estate market in the Philippines and the need for clear, legally-binding rental arrangements that address both traditional concerns and modern leasing requirements.
