Common Types of License Agreements

-
Residential Lease Agreement: For renting residential properties such as apartments, houses, or condos.

Month-to-Month Lease Agreement: A flexible lease that gets renewed each month until either party decides to terminate it.
-
Fixed-Term Lease Agreement: Specifies a set duration for the lease, commonly 6 months or 1 year.

​
Q3: What is the difference between a residential and commercial lease agreement?
A3: A residential lease agreement is used for renting living spaces, whereas a commercial lease agreement is used for renting spaces for business purposes. Residential leases usually have more tenant protections in place, while commercial leases may have more negotiable terms.
​
Q4: What is a month-to-month lease agreement?
A4: A month-to-month lease agreement is a rental contract that does not have a set end date and renews automatically each month. Either the tenant or the landlord can terminate the lease with proper notice, usually 30 days.
Q5: What is a fixed-term lease agreement?
A5: A fixed-term lease agreement has a specific start and end date. The lease does not automatically renew and usually requires the tenant to move out at the end of the term unless both parties agree to renew the lease.
Q6: What is a sublease agreement?
A6: A sublease agreement allows an existing tenant to rent out part or all of the leased property to a third party for a specified period. The original tenant remains responsible for the terms of the primary lease agreement with the landlord.
Q7: What are the responsibilities of the tenant and landlord in a lease agreement?
A7: In general, the tenant is responsible for paying rent on time, keeping the property clean, and notifying the landlord of any necessary repairs. The landlord is typically responsible for ensuring the property is habitable, making necessary repairs, and providing notice before entering the property.
Q8: Can a lease agreement be modified?
A8: Yes, a lease agreement can be modified if both parties agree to the changes. The modifications should be documented in writing and added to the original lease agreement as an amendment.
Q9: What should I look for in a lease agreement?
A9: When reviewing a lease agreement, pay attention to the rental amount, the term of the lease, security deposit requirements, maintenance responsibilities, and any restrictions on the use of the property.
Q10: What happens if a lease agreement is violated?
A10: If a lease agreement is violated, the non-breaching party may have legal remedies such as terminating the lease, seeking damages, or pursuing other legal action. The specific consequences depend on the terms of the lease and local laws
