What is a General Tenancy Agreement?
A general tenancy agreement is a contract between a landlord and tenant that outlines specific rights and is often called a lease, especially in real estate. This document contains details about rent cost and due date, applicable fees, as well as the rights and responsibilties of each party.
The general tenancy agreement also defines how long the lease term is for and what the protocols are for renewing the lease. In some cases, once the lease term is completed, tenants can continue on a month-to-month basis. On the other hand, some landlords require a new lease to be signed at the end of the original term.
