Document background
The Mortgage Lease Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in South African property transactions where a mortgaged property is being leased to tenants. This document is essential when property owners wish to generate rental income from mortgaged properties while maintaining compliance with their mortgage obligations. The agreement addresses the complex three-way relationship between the property owner (mortgagor), the tenant (lessee), and the financial institution (mortgagee), ensuring all parties' rights and obligations are clearly defined and protected. It incorporates requirements from various South African legislation, including the National Credit Act, Rental Housing Act, and Consumer Protection Act, making it suitable for both residential and commercial properties. The document typically includes detailed provisions for rental payments, property maintenance, mortgage obligations, default remedies, and security arrangements.
