Licence to Occupy Agreement

A Licence to Occupy grants a simple licence to occupy and use certain premises. It is used for letting commercial property on a fixed but short term basis. The Licence to Occupy Agreement contains a notice clause to enable either party to terminate the tenancy early on giving notice to the other. This can be removed if you wish for the agreement to remain in place on a short term basis but for a fixed period of time. 

A Licence to Occupy does not give a commercial tenant long term rights to the property, unlike a Commercial Lease, and can be cancelled at any time by either party giving notice. A variation of this agreement is the Tenancy at Will, which is also designed for shorter term lets, where a detailed lease agreement is not required but where the parties want the agreement to be indefinate until notice is given by either party to terminate it. Either of these agreements can be used for short term lets of commercial property.

Clauses in our Licence to Occupy Agreement

The Licence to Occupy Agreement is specially drafted to ensure that you are granting a licence and not a lease. This is important as a lease entails greater security of occupation and legal rights for the tenant.
