Form LRA 62 (Lease) is a foundational land registration document used in Kenya to create a leasehold interest in land for a specified period. This form is jurisdiction-specific to Kenya and is governed by Regulation 76(1) of the Land Registration (General) Regulations, 2017, enacted under the Land Registration Act, 2012. It serves as the formal instrument through which a property owner (Lessor) grants exclusive possession of land or premises to another party (Lessee) in exchange for rent or other consideration.
This advocate-reviewed template is available for download on wansom.ai and is intended for landlords (Lessors), tenants (Lessees), real estate developers, and conveyancing advocates. It is particularly essential for commercial leases, long-term residential leases, and sectional property arrangements where legal registration is required to protect the interests of both parties against third-party claims.
The downloadable template includes comprehensive fields to capture the Title Number, Term of the Lease, Rent/Stand Premium, and Service Charge. It also requires detailed descriptions of the Demised Premises, including coordinates and survey plans as required by the Act. For long-term leases, the form allows for additional provisions regarding the extension of the lease and the transfer of reversionary interests.
To be legally enforceable, the lease must be executed as a deed by all parties, including any Guarantors. The document includes a mandatory Certificate of Verification under Section 45 of the Land Registration Act, requiring the attachment of coloured passport photographs, National ID numbers, and Tax PIN numbers. These must be authenticated by the person certifying the execution to ensure the document's integrity within the Land Register. This legally compliant, ready-to-use template ensures that leasehold arrangements are properly documented and registered under Kenyan law.
