The Fixed Term Lease Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Saudi Arabia for establishing property rental arrangements with a defined duration. This template is designed for use in both commercial and residential contexts, ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabian law, including Shariah principles and the Saudi Lease Law of 2012. The document is structured to meet mandatory registration requirements on the Ejar platform and includes essential provisions for rent payment, maintenance obligations, permitted use, and termination conditions.
