Document background
The Bare Licence To Occupy is an essential document in Australian property practice, designed for situations where temporary or flexible occupation rights are required without establishing a formal leasehold interest. It is particularly valuable for short-term arrangements, pop-up venues, shared spaces, or temporary commercial uses. The document typically includes specific terms regarding occupation rights, fee structures, maintenance responsibilities, and termination provisions, all while ensuring compliance with Australian federal and state property laws. This type of agreement is distinct from a lease and is often preferred for its simplicity and flexibility, especially in scenarios where the property owner needs to maintain significant control over the property or where the occupation is intended to be temporary or non-exclusive.
