Commodatum agreement

A commodatum agreement is the deed by which an asset (e.g. an apartment, a car) is lent. It is also known as an agreement of loan for use. There are two parties to the agreement: the party that offers the asset and the party that receives it for use, with the obligation to return it within the agreed period.

A commodatum agreement is the preferred method for most people who want to give someone else the use of assets, on a temporary basis, thus lending them for use.

The documents required for concluding a commodatum agreement differ depending on the assets that are lent for use.
