The Occupancy License Agreement is designed for situations where traditional lease arrangements are not appropriate or desired under Irish law. It's commonly used in contexts such as student accommodation, corporate housing, co-living spaces, and short-term professional accommodation. This document type carefully distinguishes itself from a lease by establishing a license relationship, which offers more flexibility in terms of termination and property access. The agreement typically includes provisions for services, facilities use, house rules, and payment terms while ensuring compliance with Irish property law, safety regulations, and building standards. It's particularly relevant for properties where the occupant doesn't have exclusive possession or where additional services are provided alongside the accommodation.
