The Lodger Agreement is specifically designed for situations where a resident landlord wishes to let out a room or portion of their Hong Kong property while continuing to live in the same property. This arrangement is distinct from a standard tenancy and is particularly common in Hong Kong's dense urban environment where property sharing is prevalent. The document establishes a license to occupy rather than a lease, which provides more flexibility for both parties while still maintaining legal protections. It covers crucial elements including payment terms, shared facilities usage, house rules, and termination provisions, all within the framework of Hong Kong's legal system. The agreement is essential for protecting both parties' interests while ensuring clarity in their shared living arrangement.
