Occupancy and Use of Leased Premises Clause Samples

The "Occupancy and Use of Leased Premises" clause defines how tenants are permitted to occupy and utilize the rented property.

By clearly setting these boundaries, the clause helps prevent misuse of the premises and ensures both landlord and tenant have a mutual understanding of permitted activities, thereby reducing the risk of disputes.
Occupancy and Use of Leased Premises. (A) Tenant and Household Members Tenant shall not assign this lease and shall not sublet or transfer possession of the leased premises.
