NAMIBIA REAL ESTATE

LEASE AGREEMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY

Take note that once completed and signed by both the LESSOR and LESSEE this document will
become a binding contract – subject to the conditions contained therein. (Initial each page, full
signatures of both Seller and Purchaser together with witnesses at the end of the agreement in the
provided areas, include the date on which the agreement was signed.)

For a lease agreement the basic common law contractual formalities are applicable. This would mean
that the parties, with the necessary legal capacity, must have consensus (meeting of the mind
between them) and they must have intended for the agreement to result in terms which can be
enforced. Therefore the agreement must be lawful with certain and definite terms in order to prevent a
void for vagueness scenario. Leasing a property in Namibia allows for contractual freedom, within the
common law guidelines, between lessor and lessee – it is simply what is agreed upon in the
contract.

The common law duty/obligation to mitigate losses upon the landlord where the tenant is in breach
can be excluded in the lease agreement. To mitigate losses is the principle that a party (landlord) who
has suffered loss (breach of contract by the lessee) has to take reasonable action (get a new lessee)
to minimize the amount of the loss suffered – this obligation could be excluded from the lease
agreement. In other words; if excluded, the landlord may hold the lessee responsible for all losses.
