The Independent Contractor Lease Agreement is designed for situations where an individual or entity requires both workspace and will provide services to the property owner or associated business. This document, compliant with South African legislation, addresses the unique circumstances where the lessor-lessee relationship coexists with a contractor-client relationship. It's particularly useful for arrangements where workspace is provided as part of a contractor engagement, such as on-site facility managers, resident caretakers, or professionals providing regular services. The agreement carefully maintains the independence of the contractor while establishing clear property rights and responsibilities under South African property and contract law. It includes comprehensive terms for both property occupation and service provision, ensuring clear delineation between rental obligations and contractor duties to prevent any misinterpretation of the relationship as employment.
