Document background
The Informal Lease Agreement serves as a streamlined rental contract document designed for use in the United Arab Emirates, where it bridges the gap between verbal agreements and complex commercial leases. This document type is particularly useful for individual landlords, small property owners, and tenants seeking a straightforward yet legally sound rental arrangement. It incorporates essential elements required by UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 (Civil Code) and relevant emirate-specific regulations, while maintaining simplicity and clarity. The agreement includes basic terms covering rent, duration, maintenance responsibilities, and key obligations of both parties, making it suitable for residential properties and small commercial spaces. While informal in nature, it still provides adequate legal protection for both parties and can be registered with relevant authorities as required by UAE law.
