Document background
The Occupancy License Agreement under German law serves as a flexible alternative to traditional lease agreements, particularly suited for modern business needs and temporary space requirements. This document type is essential when parties seek to establish a license relationship rather than a traditional landlord-tenant arrangement, offering greater flexibility while maintaining legal certainty. It's commonly used in contexts such as serviced offices, co-working spaces, temporary commercial installations, and short-term business space requirements. The agreement must comply with German property law and commercial regulations while addressing specific considerations such as permitted use, duration, fees, services, and obligations of both parties. This document type has gained increasing importance with the rise of flexible working arrangements and the need for adaptable business space solutions.
