A Fixed Term Lease Agreement is the most commonly used lease type. In this type of lease the duration of the tenancy is fixed, and when the term ends you may renew it for another term or choose to make the lease a Month-to-Month lease.

In this lease the tenant and the landlord both agree to carry on their responsibilities for the agreed lease term period. In most cases when this type of a lease is terminated by the tenant, he is liable to pay the landlord some compensation as decided and agreed to in the terms of the lease before signing it.

This type of lease should only be made when the Tenant wishes to stay in the said premises for a long time or as specified in the lease terms.

Typical Example of a Fixed Term Lease

Mr Foreman needs an apartment on rent as he gets a new job which has a contract of 2 years. Since his job contract is for a term of 2 years and considering he would not want to break the job contract wishes to find an apartment on rent for the similar term so he may approach a  landlord and get into a Fixed Term Rental Lease as per his requirements.
