The Early Occupancy Agreement Lease Addendum is utilized when circumstances require a tenant to move into a property before the official lease commencement date. This situation commonly arises in commercial and residential contexts where renovation works are nearly complete, or business necessity demands earlier occupation. Under German law, this document provides a crucial legal framework for managing this interim period, protecting both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) and related regulations. The addendum typically includes specific provisions for early access, temporary payment terms, utility responsibilities, insurance requirements, and property condition documentation. It's essential for risk management and clearly defining the relationship between this early occupancy period and the main lease agreement.
