Under what conditions is commercial activity allowed in residential properties?

According to the judicial reporter of Fars News Agency, Hasan Fadaei, a legal expert in the Salam Studio TV program in Tehran regarding Article 8 of the Landlord and Tenant Law, said: Article 8 of the Landlord and Tenant Law is about commercial premises. According to this law, if the lessor hands over the commercial property to the tenant with a conventional rent every year, the tenant can receive an amount as goodwill to get his right and vacate the premises.

He added: The tenant does not have the right to encroach and make material changes. Therefore, in such a situation, the tenant is obliged to always make the necessary arrangements with the landlord and get his permission to make any kind of change. Otherwise, the tenant will lose the right to receive goodwill.

Fadaei stated: According to the law, the owners of some businesses can also use the residential property for their commercial activities. For example, lawyers or doctors have such permission under defined rules and regulations. But this possibility is not available for other jobs.

He went on to say: According to the civil law, the tenant is obliged to present the terms of the lease in full and in writing. This means that a person cannot buy a house for two people, but actually four people live in it. Therefore, in dealing with such situations, the lessor must be able to prove in writing the presence of the unmentioned persons in the property and then take action to solve the problem.
