A fixed-term lease is a contract covering a given period of time. It is usually (but not always) stipulated in a written contract called a rental agreement. It can be for any period, but can range from just 6 months to a year or more. It is important to consider the following points about a fixed-term lease: before establishing a lease agreement, landlords must decide whether or not they want the lease to end on a set date. Part 4 rights do not apply to tenants in student-specific housing, although other elements of the housing rental right were extended to these rents in July 2019. In this type of agreement, a tenant pays a non-refundable option fee in exchange for the option to buy the house at a predetermined price. It is desirable that the parties to the agreement realize that they fully understand the effects and that they get advice from a lawyer, agent, interpreter, etc. before signing the document. The rental agreement does not claim to be a legal interpretation of the legislation and each user of the rental agreements should ensure that he meets the requirements of the legislation in force at all times, and in particular the Residential Tenancies Act 2004-2016.
