The Tenancy Agreement Contract is a fundamental legal instrument in Philippine real estate transactions, essential for both residential and commercial property rentals. This document serves as the primary agreement governing the landlord-tenant relationship, incorporating requirements from the Rent Control Act of 2009, the Civil Code of the Philippines, and other relevant local regulations. It is used whenever a property owner wishes to lease their property to a tenant, whether for residential or commercial purposes, and includes critical information about rent payments, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and terms of occupancy. The agreement provides legal protection for both parties and serves as a reference point for resolving any disputes that may arise during the tenancy period.
