The Qatar cabinet has approved a draft law amending some provisions of regulation regarding property leasing, according to a report.

Under the new amendment, the lease shall incorporate the names, nationalities and addresses of the property owner and the tenant, reported The Peninsula.

Also these lease agreements should have addresses of legal representatives of both the owner and the tenant, the lease term, the rent and mode of payment, a description of the leased premises and the purpose of the lease in addition to all terms and conditions agreed upon.

The owner shall, within 30 days of the effective date of the lease agreement, register the lease at the Real Estate Lease Registration Office, stated the report.
