The Tenant

A tenant is a person or entity who rents or leases property, such as an apartment, house, or commercial space, from a landlord or property owner. The tenant has the right to use and occupy the property for a specified period, usually in exchange for regular payments called rent. The relationship is governed by a lease agreement, which outlines rights, responsibilities, and conditions for both parties. Tenants must follow the rules set in the lease, maintain the property, and pay rent on time, while landlords are responsible for maintaining the property and ensuring it is habitable.
