The Short Tenancy Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Hong Kong's property market for leasing premises for periods typically under three years. It serves as the primary contract between landlords and tenants, whether for residential or commercial properties, and must comply with Hong Kong's Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance and related legislation. This document is essential when parties need to establish a clear, legally-binding rental arrangement that includes specific terms about rent, deposits, maintenance obligations, and termination rights. It's particularly useful for situations requiring flexibility while maintaining legal protection for both parties, and includes provisions specific to Hong Kong's property market practices and legal requirements.
