The validity of stipulating a deferred or installment-based rent payment in a lease contract.

Primary text

If the lessee stipulates that the rent be deferred, it is due at the stipulated time. If the rent is stipulated to be paid in installments, such as day by day or month by month, or for any period less than or greater than that, the agreement between the parties is binding. This is because leasing a specific object is analogous to selling it, and a sale is valid with either immediate or deferred pricing; thus, the lease is likewise valid.
