Licence to Occupy — Word & PDF Template

The licence is organised into clear sections:

• Important Notice — explanation of how a licence differs from a tenancy.
• Parties — the licensor and licensee.
• The Premises — the space being made available.
• Permitted Purpose — what the premises may be used for.
• Licence Period — the duration of the arrangement.
• Licence Fee — the payment due for occupation.
• Licensee’s Obligations — the occupier’s responsibilities.
• Licensor’s Obligations — the owner’s responsibilities.
• Termination — how the licence can be ended.
• Insurance and Liability — cover and risk allocation.
• Governing Law — England & Wales jurisdiction.
• Signatures — execution by the parties.
