Legal Framework
Leases are governed by Section 105 and Chapter 5 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. A lease grants the lessee the right to use immovable or movable property for a defined period in exchange for rent.
Key Parties and Nature of Lease
Lessor: Owner or controller of the property. Lessee: Person who acquires the right to use the property. The lease conveys usage rights without transferring ownership. Lessee may maintain or alter property with permission and must keep it in good condition.
Common Terms in Lease Agreements
