    What is the default method for paying Rent if no agreement exists?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Tenants are generally expected to pay the Rent on the specific dates mutually agreed upon in the contract. However, if the contract is silent on payment dates or they cannot be verified, the law mandates a default schedule. In such cases, Rent must be paid annually in four (4) equal instalments. These instalments must be settled in advance, providing a clear structure for financial transactions between Landlords and Tenants and reducing the likelihood of disputes over payment timing or frequency.
