The Lease For Residential Property agreement is a crucial legal document used in the Philippine real estate market to establish and regulate the relationship between property owners and tenants. This document is essential for any residential property rental transaction in the Philippines, ensuring compliance with local laws including the Civil Code of the Philippines, the Rent Control Act of 2009, and various local government regulations. It provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the rental arrangement, from basic terms to specific provisions required by Philippine law. The agreement is designed to protect both landlord and tenant interests while ensuring clear documentation of rights, responsibilities, and obligations.
