Document background
The License To Occupy Agreement is commonly used in Saudi Arabia when parties need a flexible arrangement for temporary property use without establishing a formal lease relationship. This document type is particularly valuable for short-term occupancy situations, pop-up retail spaces, temporary offices, or project-specific locations. It provides a more flexible alternative to traditional lease agreements while ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabian law and Sharia principles. The agreement typically includes specific terms regarding property access, permitted uses, duration, payment terms, and obligations of both parties. It's essential for situations where the property owner wants to retain significant control over the property while granting specific usage rights to the occupier. The document must align with local municipality regulations and often requires consideration of zoning laws and commercial regulations.
