Rental Law & Leases

Lease agreements are among the most common legal relationships in Lebanon and are governed by Lebanese laws and regulations that structure the relationship between landlords and tenants. These rules address key issues such as contractual terms, rent, statutory timeframes, legal notices, and the procedures for termination and recovery of possession where applicable. Given the sensitivity of rental matters and the frequency of disputes, an unplanned step can lead to significant legal and financial consequences.
