Re: Commercial Lease Agreement

Rent Law is Provincial subject in Pakistan. Agreement is either commercial or residential, only law available in Pakistan deals it. In Punjab the Punjab Rented Premises Ordinance, 2007, is in operation to deal the matter concerning with rent. Following is link:---

In the former and repealed law, there was provision to increase the 25% rent after every three years automatically, but now under the above cited law, no such type provision is available but everything is subject to Agreement. Any lease agreement beyond the one year is compulsorily register-able.

Feel free if you need more assistance.
