The Basic Tenancy Agreement serves as a foundational legal document for residential property leasing in Saudi Arabia, designed to comply with both civil law requirements and Islamic Sharia principles. This document should be used when establishing a new residential tenancy relationship or renewing an existing lease agreement. It includes essential provisions required by the Saudi Lease Law (2018) and must be registered on the Ejar platform. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as property details, rental terms, payment schedules, maintenance responsibilities, and dispute resolution procedures. It is particularly relevant for both individual and corporate landlords and tenants, requiring careful consideration of local regulations, including recent reforms in Saudi real estate law and mandatory electronic registration requirements.
