A Letter of Intent to Rent is commonly used in Hong Kong's property market as a preliminary step before entering into a formal lease agreement. It is typically issued when a prospective tenant has identified a suitable property and wishes to formally express their interest while negotiating key terms. The document outlines essential elements such as proposed rental amount, tenure, intended use, and any special conditions, while usually maintaining a non-binding nature except for specific provisions like confidentiality and exclusivity. In Hong Kong's fast-moving property market, this document helps secure the property during negotiations and demonstrates commitment from both parties. It's particularly important in commercial leasing where multiple approvals and detailed negotiations may be required before finalizing a formal lease.
