The Tenant Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in the Philippine real estate market, providing a structured framework for rental arrangements in both residential and commercial contexts. This document is essential when establishing a formal lease relationship, ensuring compliance with Philippine legislation including the Civil Code, Rent Control Act, and relevant local government regulations. The agreement comprehensively covers all aspects of the rental relationship, from basic terms to specific obligations, and is designed to protect both landlord and tenant interests while maintaining alignment with Philippine property laws and regulations. It should be used whenever a property is being leased, whether for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes, and includes provisions for security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and dispute resolution mechanisms as required under Philippine jurisdiction.
