What terms should be included in the house lease contract?

A house lease contract refers to an agreement signed by the lessor and the lessee when renting a house to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. As the lessee of the house, we should know our rights and obligations. Then, what terms should be included in the housing lease contract? Let's take a look together.

1, the situation of both parties

The contract shall contain personal information such as the name and address of the lessor and the lessee.

2, the specific situation of the house, the specific location of the house, indicating the exact location of the house, such as a house on a certain road; Housing area; House decoration, briefly describing the house wall, doors and windows, floor, ceiling, kitchen and bathroom decoration; Equipped with facilities and equipment, briefly list the furniture, household appliances, kitchen equipment and bathroom equipment prepared by the lessor for the lessee in the house; The property right and owner of the house, indicating what kind of property right the house is, who the owner is, the relationship between the lessor and the owner, and whether it is entrusted by the owner to rent the house.

3. The purpose of the house mainly explains the following two points: whether the house is used for the tenant's self-occupation, the tenant's family residence, or whether the tenant or his family is allowed to share with others; Can housing be used only for living, or can it be used for other purposes, such as office.

4. Lease period

Since the lessee does not want to move frequently and the lessor does not want to find a new lessee in a short time, both parties need a relatively stable period of time, so it is necessary to stipulate a time limit in the contract. During this period, if there are no special circumstances, the lessor shall not take back the house, and the lessee shall not abandon the house and rent another house. After the deadline, the lessee will return the house to the lessor. If the lessee wants to continue renting the house, he should inform the lessor in advance. After negotiation, with the consent of the lessor, the lessee can continue to lease the house. If the lessee wants to move out but can't find a suitable new residence, the lessor shall extend the lease term as appropriate.

5. Rent and payment method The rent of the house shall be determined through consultation between the lessor and the lessee. During the lease term, the lessor shall not raise the rent without authorization. The payment methods of rent are generally annual, semi-annual and quarterly. If you pay the rent for a long period in one lump sum, you can bargain with the lessor and ask for some concessions. However, from the perspective of the lessee's economic affordability, the economic burden caused by monthly or quarterly payment is relatively small.

6. The lessor is the owner of the house or the principal of the owner, so it is the lessor's responsibility to repair the house. The lessee should carefully check the house and its internal facilities before leasing to ensure that it can be used normally in the future. If the house or facilities are damaged during normal use, the lessee shall promptly notify the lessor to ask the property management company for maintenance. However, if damage is caused by the lessee's improper use, the lessee shall be responsible for maintenance or compensation. If the lessor is unable to repair the house, the lessee can jointly contribute to the maintenance, and the maintenance expenses borne by the lessee can offset the rent payable or be repaid by the lessor in installments.

7. When the housing situation changes, the lessee shall take good care of the housing and various facilities, and shall not dismantle, modify, expand or increase it without authorization. If it is really necessary to change the house, it must obtain the consent of the lessor and sign a written agreement.

8. Agreement on Sublease Some lessees rent houses not for self-occupation, but to obtain rental income through subletting. Because this sublease behavior affects the interests of the lessor, both parties should stipulate sublease in the contract. If sublease is allowed, both parties can negotiate to determine the proportion of sublease income; If subletting is not allowed, and the lessee sublets it without authorization, the lessor has the right to terminate the lease contract.

9. Liability for breach of contract When signing a contract, both parties should think about the possible breach of contract and stipulate corresponding punishment measures in the contract. For example, if the lessee fails to pay the rent on time, the lessor can terminate the contract in advance and let it move out; If the lessor fails to provide furniture as agreed, the lessee can negotiate with him to reduce the rent.

10. Modification and termination of the lease contract If the lessor and the lessee think it necessary to change the above contract terms, such as lease term and rent, etc. Both parties can negotiate to change the contract. If the lessee needs to exchange houses with others due to job changes, it shall obtain the consent of the lessor in advance. After the house is changed, the original lease contract is terminated, and the lessor and the new lessee sign a new lease contract. If one of the lessor and lessee wants to terminate the contract before the expiration of the contract, it shall notify the other party in advance and give the other party some compensation according to the contract or negotiation. When the contract expires, it will terminate naturally.
