housing lease

Tenant's binding agreement

A housing lease is a contract between a landlord and tenant establishing the terms under which the tenant may occupy a residential property.

It typically specifies rent amount, duration, security deposit, and rules governing the tenancy.

We signed a two-year housing lease on the apartment.

Breaking a housing lease early often incurs penalties.
