Document background
A Lease Confirmation Letter is a critical document in Hong Kong's property leasing process, typically issued after the main lease agreement has been negotiated but before or shortly after the commencement of the lease term. This document serves to formalize and confirm the key terms agreed upon between the landlord and tenant, providing a clear and concise summary of essential lease provisions. It's particularly useful in commercial and residential leasing contexts where parties need a straightforward reference document for their lease terms. The letter should comply with Hong Kong's property laws, including the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance, and may need to be stamped in accordance with the Stamp Duty Ordinance. It's commonly used when parties want to confirm modifications to existing lease terms or when providing a simplified summary of a more complex lease agreement.
