A Leave and License Agreement is an Agreement where the licensor (Owner) allows the licensee (Renter) to temporarily occupy and use one portion of immovable property for carrying on his business for residential purposes.

“Leave and License” is different compared to rental or lease agreement. Under 'Leave and License', the 'Owner' leaves the property with various facilities and amenities and give license to the other party to use the complete set of things including services and amenities while the Owner is on 'Leave' for a specific period. Once the 'Leave' is over when the 'Owner' returns, the entire set of facilities are to be left behind and another party should leave the premises.
