Introduction to house rental contract

A house leasing contract refers to an agreement signed by both the lessor and the lessee on the transfer of the right to possess and use the rented house. Its content is that the lessor hands over the house to the lessee for use, and the lessee pays the lessor the agreed rent on a regular basis, and returns the house to the lessor in good condition when the agreed period expires or the lease is terminated.
