Lease agreement

A lease agreement is a contract between a landlord and tenant that sets the terms for renting a property. It details the lease duration, rent, payment schedules, and responsibilities like maintenance. This agreement ensures both parties understand their obligations and have legal protection. In Jamaica, it’s essential for clarity and security in real estate transactions. The agreement must be written and signed to be enforceable. Historically, lease agreements in Jamaica have been shaped by British colonial law and local practices, becoming standard in both residential and commercial real estate.
