    Is this Residential Lease Agreement drafted for United Arab Emirates law?

    Yes. It names United Arab Emirates law as the governing law, uses local legal terms, and adds drafting notes wherever a local rule needs checking. It is a template, not legal advice: have a lawyer in United Arab Emirates review it before relying on it.

    Does a lease have to be in writing?

    In many places a short tenancy can be verbal, but a written lease is much easier to enforce and longer leases often must be written and sometimes registered or stamped. Check the rule for your jurisdiction.

    Can I use this for a commercial property?

    No. Commercial leases deal with things like service charges, fit-out and assignment differently. Choose the commercial lease document instead.
