The Memorandum Of Understanding Between Landowner And Developer is a crucial preliminary document used in Qatar's real estate development sector when a landowner and developer wish to formalize their intentions to negotiate a full development agreement. This document is typically used at the early stages of a potential development project, after initial discussions but before committing to a full development agreement. It sets out the framework for due diligence, exclusivity periods, and key commercial terms while ensuring compliance with Qatar's legal requirements, including Law No. 22 of 2004 (Civil Code) and Law No. 6 of 2014 (Real Estate Development Law). The MOU serves as a roadmap for negotiations while protecting both parties' interests through confidentiality provisions and clear delineation of responsibilities during the negotiation phase.
