Document background
The License To Occupy Agreement is a crucial document in Canadian property law that provides a more flexible alternative to traditional lease arrangements. It is particularly valuable when businesses or individuals need temporary access to space without the long-term commitments and statutory protections associated with leases. This document type is commonly used for pop-up stores, temporary office spaces, event venues, or shared workspace arrangements. The agreement outlines essential terms including the specific area being licensed, duration of occupation, permitted uses, fee structure, and termination rights. It's designed to maintain the licensor's control and access rights while providing the licensee with clear parameters for occupation. The document must comply with both federal and provincial property laws and should clearly distinguish itself from a lease to avoid unintended legal implications.
