Document background
The Lease and License Agreement is a crucial document used in the United Arab Emirates when a business entity needs to both occupy commercial premises and obtain necessary operational permissions. This document is particularly relevant in the UAE's highly regulated business environment, where both property occupation and commercial activities require specific legal compliance. It combines traditional lease elements with licensing provisions, ensuring businesses can legally operate from their chosen location while meeting all local regulatory requirements. The agreement is structured to comply with UAE federal laws, including Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 (Civil Code), and relevant emirate-specific regulations governing both property leasing and commercial licensing. It's commonly used for retail spaces, offices, industrial units, and other commercial properties where specific operational permits are required alongside the property lease.
