Terms that explain leases, occupancy, security deposits, possession, and the rights and duties that shape rental relationships.
Leasing and landlord-tenant pages explain the vocabulary of occupancy, possession, rent, deposits, lease transfer, and recurring tenancy problems. This section is for readers who need to understand rental language in leases, notices, property rules, and day-to-day occupancy without turning the site into jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
These terms matter because the difference between possession, ownership, authorized occupancy, and lease transfer can affect payment duties, access rights, move-out risk, and who is responsible when something goes wrong. Readers often encounter this language long before they understand which rights come from the lease and which rights stay with the owner.
