Real Estate & Facilities Templates
These templates concern physical premises. Real Estate law is almost entirely localized, meaning templates represent broad structural frameworks rather than plug-and-play legal advice.

Contract Types & Nuances
| Contract Type | USA Context | Canada Context | EU Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial Lease Agreements | Generally heavily favors the landlord (Triple Net Leases are common). Very little statutory protection for commercial tenants. | Similar to US. Governed by provincial Commercial Tenancies Acts. | Varies by country, but often features mandatory minimum durations (e.g., France's 3-6-9 leases, Czech Republic's "Nájem prostoru sloužícího k podnikání"). |
| Residential Tenancy Agreements | Governed strictly by state and city laws. Heavily regulated regarding security deposits and eviction procedures. | Strictly governed by provincial boards (e.g., LTB in Ontario, TAL in Quebec). Landlords must use the government-mandated standard lease form in many provinces. | Extremely protective of tenant rights. Rent control and infinite-duration leases are common in states like Germany. Czech Republic uses the Civil Code (Občanský zákoník). |
| License to Occupy | A "lighter" version of a lease, typically used for co-working spaces. Does not grant "exclusive possession." | Used for similar short-term or shared-space arrangements. Must carefully avoid conveying a true tenancy. | Used for flexible offices and pop-ups. Vital distinction from a commercial lease to avoid triggering automatic tenant protections. |
Agent Instructions
When an end-user requests a Real Estate contract:
- Note the severe localization of real estate. Emphasize that residential forms often must be the statutory version provided by the local government.
- For EU member states, use N-Lex to verify the specific Civil Code or Property Act sections.
- Differentiate clearly between a Lease (grants exclusive possession) and a License (grants permission to use).
