Real Estate Lease Agreement
Secure your property and rights with a legally binding contract. Our lawyer-drafted agreement sets clear terms for rent, duration, and responsibilities - protecting both landlords and tenants in Cambodia.
Why You Need a Proper Real Estate Lease Agreement
While real estate lease agreements are a staple of daily transactions, signing one without fully understanding the risks can be dangerous. A poorly drafted contract often leads to unfair evictions with little notice, lost deposits due to vague terms, or surprise fees buried in the fine print. When disputes arise, these gaps can turn into legal nightmares.
Our Solution: A Smarter Lease Agreement
We provide a contract that is custom-drafted for Cambodia and proven to work in real disputes. It offers:
Balanced Protection: Fair terms that respect the rights of both the landlord and the tenant.
Clear Language: We avoid confusing legal jargon so you know exactly what you are signing.
Legal Compliance: Fully aligned with Cambodian laws to ensure enforceability.

Legal Requirement Alert
Is Your Lease Agreement Compliant?
Many landlords and tenants in Cambodia unknowingly rely on invalid lease agreements that violate local laws. This oversight puts both parties in a precarious position where you could face:
Fines or legal penalties for non-compliance.
Unenforceable terms that won't hold up in court.
Voided contracts in disputes, leaving you without protection.

Why You Should NEVER Rely on a Verbal Agreement
Relying on a verbal agreement is a significant risk that you should avoid. Without written proof, you expose yourself to:
"He said, she said" disputes: Impossible to prove who is right without documentation.
Unpredictable Costs: No protection against sudden rent increases.
Deposit Risks: No documented rules for getting your money back.
What is a Real Estate Lease Agreement?
A Real Estate Lease Agreement is a legally binding contract between a property owner (landlord) and a tenant that outlines the specific terms for renting land, a house, or commercial space. This essential document protects both parties by clearly defining who is involved, the exact location and condition of the property, and the duration of the lease. It also establishes the financial ground rules, including the rent amount, payment schedule, and deposit terms, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
Key Legal Elements Included
Our template includes all the critical legal elements required for a valid contract to ensure your interests are secured:
Party Identification: We require full names, IDs, and signatures (including witnesses) to prevent identity disputes.
Mandatory Disclosures: The agreement covers property tax obligations and documents existing damage to avoid unfair claims later.
Duration Limits: Terms are compliant with the maximum 15-year limit for standard leases.
Deposit Rules: We include clear conditions for the retention and return of security deposits.
Termination: Defined notice periods (typically 1-3 months) prevent abrupt endings to the tenancy.
Warning
Many free online templates fail to include these critical legal requirements specific to Cambodian law!
Who Needs This Template?
This lawyer-reviewed template is an essential tool for anyone involved in the rental market:
Property Owners/Landlords: Rent out houses, land, or commercial spaces with confidence and legal backing.
Tenants: Secure your right to occupy the property and guarantee the return of your deposit.
Real Estate Agents: Offer clients professional, ready-to-use contracts that speed up deals and build trust.
Investors: Standardize leases across your entire property portfolio for easier management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The template is designed to be flexible. You can fill in specific details like rent amount, dates, and specific house rules while keeping the legal core intact.
Pay close attention to the Rental Price and Payment Terms, the Deposit conditions, the Lease Duration, and the Termination Clause (how much notice is required to end the lease).
No, this is a lease agreement, not a title deed. However, it references the property's legal status to ensure the landlord has the right to rent it out, protecting the tenant from fraud.
