Headleases for Employee Housing
Employee Tenancy Agreements are a unique aspect of employment relations, blending elements of employment and property law. These agreements are used when an employee is provided with residential accommodation as part of their employment package. Saines Legal offers specialised legal expertise in drafting and managing these agreements, ensuring they are fair, compliant, and clearly outline the responsibilities and rights of both parties.
Importance of Employee Tenancy Agreements
Such agreements are essential for clarity and legal protection when an employee is provided with living accommodation by their employer. They cover aspects like rental terms, maintenance responsibilities, privacy considerations, and the conditions under which the tenancy might be terminated alongside the employment.
Crafting Comprehensive Agreements
Saines Legal focuses on creating comprehensive agreements that address all potential issues and contingencies. This includes setting out clear guidelines on rent (if applicable), duration of tenancy, conditions of use, and what happens if either the employment or tenancy agreement is terminated.

In Australia, combining tenancy with employment can create complex legal situations.
