Each must decide the type of legal contract and terms they wish to enter into to regulate their agreement. There are different ways for a business to occupy a commercial premises \u2013 a commercial lease or a licence agreement for a licence to occupy. This article will unpack a licence to occupy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Licence to Occupy&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A licence to occupy is a legal way for a person, such as a business owner, to occupy a property. It permits the person to be on the premises and to carry out an activity. They are the licensee, and the property owner is the licensor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Licence vs Lease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, a licence to occupy is not a lease. While a licence permits the business owner to carry out an activity on the premises, it does not give them the sole occupation of the property as a commercial lease does. Accordingly, the property owner can enter the property as they please. The licensee does not have rights to the land as an owner does.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A licence to occupy also differs from a lease in the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a licence never grants <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/protected-lease-for-commercial-property\/\">security of tenure<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you cannot pass your right to occupy to someone else like you can <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/considerations-assigning-lease\/\">assign a lease<\/a>; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>it tends to be for a shorter term than a lease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if a licence to occupy is a key characteristic of an arrangement, it may be a commercial lease rather than a licence. It does not matter what the document title says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Enter Into a Licence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times when a licence to occupy can suit property and business owners. Licences to occupy usually last for a short time and can be quick and easy to arrange. The licensor can also occupy the property with the licensee as a convenient arrangement. You will often come across a licence where the commercial premises is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>an office space which is serviced and occupied for a short time;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in use by a buyer of the property after exchange but before completion; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>about to fall under commercial lease terms, though a licence is in place to allow a tenant access to the property beforehand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a business or property owner, if you want to enter a licence to occupy, ensure you do not accidentally issue a commercial lease. This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ensuring the licensee has occupation of but not exclusive possession to your property;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>giving the licence a fixed term; and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>receiving a fee for the licence.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ensuring the licence can terminate as per both the party&#8217;s wishes; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>making sure the licensee can use the parts of the property they need permission to use.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/04050959\/LegalVision-Landlords-Cheatsheet-for-UK-Leasing-Terms.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Cheatsheet for UK Leasing Terms<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>This cheatsheet includes practical tips to understand key clauses and avoid disputes in leasing agreements.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go.legalvision.co.uk\/cheatsheet-uk-leasing-terms.html\" class=\" block px-5 py-3.5 max-w-fit bg-orange button__hover transition rounded text-white font-bold text-lg no-underline uppercase leading-tight text-center\" target=\"\" rel=\"\">Download Now<\/a>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A licence to occupy allows a person to be on the commercial premises to carry out an activity.
