Document background
The License Agreement (Real Estate) serves as a crucial legal instrument in Irish property transactions where temporary or flexible property use arrangements are required. This document type is particularly relevant when parties need to establish clear rights for property use without creating a leasehold interest. It's commonly used for short-term arrangements, pop-up venues, shared spaces, or temporary commercial uses. The agreement must comply with Irish property law, particularly the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011. It includes essential provisions for property access, use limitations, fee structures, and termination rights, while carefully maintaining its character as a license rather than a lease. This type of agreement is particularly valuable in modern flexible working arrangements and temporary commercial ventures where traditional lease arrangements would be unsuitable or overly restrictive.
