The Fixed Term Tenancy Agreement is essential for establishing legally binding rental arrangements in Saudi Arabia. This document is used when parties wish to create a lease for a specific, predetermined period, typically ranging from one to five years. It must comply with Saudi Arabian real estate regulations, including registration requirements on the Ejar platform, and incorporate Sharia-compliant terms. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as rent payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, security deposits, and termination conditions, while ensuring alignment with local property laws and customs. It's particularly relevant for both residential and commercial properties, providing a structured framework for landlord-tenant relationships within the Saudi legal context.
