What Is Occupational Rent and When Does It Apply

Occupational rent comes into play when a buyer moves in before transfer or a seller stays on after it. It’s essentially a “rent” for occupying the home outside ownership.

Gabriel da Matta recommends including this term carefully in the offer to purchase. “It avoids disputes and keeps expectations clear,” he says.
