rentalproperty
A rental property is a piece of real estate that is owned by one party but occupied by another party in exchange for periodic payment, typically rent. The owner of the property is known as the landlord or lessor, and the occupant is known as the tenant or lessee. Rental properties can encompass a wide range of types, including residential units such as apartments, houses, and condominiums, as well as commercial spaces like offices, retail stores, and industrial buildings. The agreement between the landlord and tenant is usually formalized through a lease or rental agreement, which outlines the terms of occupancy, rent amount, duration of the tenancy, and responsibilities of each party. Landlords are generally responsible for property maintenance and repairs, while tenants are typically responsible for adhering to the terms of the lease and paying rent on time. The rental market is a significant component of the housing and business sectors, providing housing options for individuals and families and spaces for businesses to operate. Rental properties can be owned by individuals as a source of passive income or by larger property management companies. The value of rental properties can fluctuate based on market demand, location, and economic conditions.
