The Landlord Rental Agreement serves as a fundamental legal instrument in the Philippine real estate market, essential for both residential and commercial property rentals. This document is designed to comply with Philippine rental laws, including the Rent Control Act of 2009 and relevant provisions of the Civil Code of the Philippines. It is used when a property owner (landlord) wishes to lease their property to a tenant under legally binding terms. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as rental payments, security deposits, maintenance obligations, and terms of occupancy, while incorporating specific requirements of Philippine property law. This standardized contract helps prevent disputes by clearly defining the rights and responsibilities of both parties, ensuring legal compliance, and providing a framework for addressing potential issues during the lease term.
