Leasing Something Not Yet Existent
Is it lawful to lease a building for which detailed architectural plans exist before it is built, on the understanding that it will be handed over as soon as it is completed?
It is not lawful to lease a building for which detailed architectural plans are drawn but has not yet been constructed as such a lease would be the lease of something not yet existent. Such ambiguity about the description of the building and the time it will be ready for occupancy may lead to dispute.
