Document background
The License to Occupy Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in the United States for situations requiring temporary property occupation rights without the complexities of a full lease agreement. This document type is particularly valuable for short-term arrangements, pop-up venues, shared spaces, or temporary business locations. It provides a clear framework for defining occupation rights while maintaining the property owner's control and flexibility. The agreement typically includes essential elements such as duration, permitted use, fee structure, and party obligations, all while ensuring compliance with U.S. federal and state property laws. Unlike a lease, this agreement type doesn't create an interest in land or establish a landlord-tenant relationship, making it ideal for temporary or flexible arrangements where maintaining the licensor's right to revoke permission is important.
