The Shared Tenancy Agreement is a specialized legal instrument designed for situations where multiple unrelated tenants occupy a single residential property in Pakistan. This document is particularly relevant in urban centers, university areas, and professional districts where shared housing arrangements are common. It addresses the complexities of multiple occupancy by clearly defining individual and collective responsibilities, establishing rent and utility payment structures, and detailing the use of shared spaces. The agreement must comply with Pakistani property laws, including the Transfer of Property Act 1882 and relevant provincial regulations, while also incorporating practical aspects of shared living arrangements. This document is essential for landlords managing multiple tenants, property management companies handling shared properties, and tenants seeking to formalize their co-living arrangements with clear legal protection.
