Document background
The License To Occupy Land is commonly used in Australian jurisdictions when a property owner needs to grant temporary or conditional access to their property without the formal commitments of a lease agreement. This document type is particularly useful for situations requiring flexibility in termination, shared use arrangements, or temporary occupation rights. It's essential for scenarios such as pop-up retail spaces, temporary storage, event venues, or agricultural use. The license clearly defines the rights granted, permitted activities, duration, and obligations of both parties while maintaining the licensor's control over the property. Unlike a lease, a License to Occupy Land creates no interest in the land itself, making it a preferred option for short-term or specific-purpose arrangements where the property owner wants to retain significant control over the property.
