Document background
The Residential Tenancy Agreement serves as a legally binding contract between property owners and tenants in Pakistan, establishing the framework for residential property rentals. This document is essential for protecting the rights and defining the obligations of both parties in accordance with Pakistani law, including relevant provincial legislation and the Transfer of Property Act 1882. It should be used whenever a residential property is being leased, whether for short-term or long-term occupation. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as rent payment terms, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and termination conditions, while ensuring compliance with local registration requirements and stamp duty obligations. This template is designed to be adaptable for use across different Pakistani provinces while maintaining consistency with relevant local rental laws and regulations.
