The Occupancy License Agreement is commonly used in India when property owners or managers want to grant temporary, flexible rights to use a space without creating a landlord-tenant relationship. It's particularly relevant in commercial contexts such as co-working spaces, temporary office setups, educational facilities, and short-term commercial arrangements. This document type is governed by Indian law, specifically the Indian Easements Act, 1882, and various state-specific regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed terms about the permitted use of the space, license fees, duration, termination rights, and obligations of both parties. It's crucial to maintain clear distinction from a lease agreement to avoid legal recharacterization, making it essential to properly structure the rights and obligations within the agreement.
