The Long Term Lease Agreement is a crucial legal instrument used in Pakistan for establishing extended property rental arrangements exceeding one year. It serves as the primary document governing the relationship between property owners and tenants, whether for commercial, residential, or industrial purposes. This document must comply with multiple Pakistani laws including the Transfer of Property Act 1882, Registration Act 1908, and provincial rent control regulations. It is particularly important for businesses seeking stable, long-term premises, investors in commercial real estate, and organizations requiring secured long-term property rights. The agreement typically includes comprehensive terms covering rent, maintenance, use restrictions, and renewal options, while incorporating necessary provisions for compliance with both civil and Islamic law principles. Registration of such agreements is mandatory under Pakistani law, making them formally binding and enforceable legal instruments.
