Tenancy law (residential/commercial space)

Tenancy law: legal advice on rental and leasing of real estate

Tenancy law regulates the legal relationships between tenants and landlords of residential and commercial spaces. In practice, these are often homes, shops, offices, or warehouses. Specific rules apply to each type of space, with tenants of residential properties and retail spaces enjoying additional legal protection. For other commercial spaces, such as offices, there is more contractual freedom. 

A well-drafted rental contract tailored to the type of space and the agreements made is essential for a stable rental relationship.
