Document background
The Short Tenancy Agreement is a fundamental legal instrument used in the Philippine real estate market for establishing short-term rental arrangements. This document is essential when property owners wish to lease their property for a defined shorter period, typically less than one year, while ensuring compliance with Philippine rental laws including the Rent Control Act and relevant provisions of the Civil Code. It provides a comprehensive framework covering critical aspects such as rental payments, security deposits, maintenance obligations, and termination procedures, while incorporating specific requirements of Philippine property law. The agreement is designed to protect both landlord and tenant interests while maintaining flexibility for short-term arrangements, making it particularly suitable for temporary housing needs, short-term business locations, or transitional accommodation purposes.
