1. Is it legal to sign the lease contract without fingerprints?

The lease contract is legal only if it is signed, not by fingerprints. The handprint and signature on the contract have the same legal effect, except for exceptions between the parties or in the contract.

Article 490 of the General Principles of the Civil Law When concluding a contract, if the parties conclude the contract in the form of a contract, the contract shall be established when the parties sign, seal or fingerprint it. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

A contract shall be concluded in written form as stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or agreed by the parties. If the parties do not do this in writing, but one party has fulfilled its main obligations and the other party accepts it, the contract is established.

Second, how to determine the term of the lease contract

(1) Non-fixed lease

Lease contracts are divided into fixed-term lease and indefinite lease. For an indefinite lease, both parties can terminate the contract at any time because its term is not fixed. Just to take care of the interests of the lessee and the characteristics of the lease contract, the lessor who terminates the contract is generally required to give the lessee a grace period.

(2) Term Lease Term Lease has a clear lease term and is generally restricted by law. If the period agreed by the parties exceeds the statutory period, the lease term shall be reduced to the statutory maximum period. China's civil code also stipulates that the lease contract shall not exceed 20 years. If it is more than 20 years, the excess part shall be regarded as indefinite lease, which shall be determined according to the rules of indefinite lease. Of course, if the lease contract exceeds 20 years, the parties may renew it, but according to the provisions of the Civil Code, the renewal period shall not exceed 20 years. Renewing the lease is not a new lease contract, but an extension of the original contract term. Of course, if both parties not only extend the term, but also change the contents of the subsequent contract, then it is no problem to treat it as another contract. If the content of the contract remains the same, but the term is extended, it is called renewal. The renewal of the contract is different from the change of the contract; The former is to continue to extend the contract term after the expiration of the contract, without changing the contract content; The latter is the change of contract content or conditions, time limit, etc. Within the validity period of the contract. The forms of contracts stipulated in the Civil Code are mainly written, oral and other forms, but the law may have special provisions for different contracts. But when it comes to the form of the lease contract, the specific form should be determined according to the actual lease term.

Three. Conditions for termination of civil code contract

Article 557 of the Civil Code shall terminate the creditor's rights and debts under any of the following circumstances:

(a) The debt has been performed in accordance with the contract;

(2) Termination of the contract;

(3) The debts offset each other;

(4) The debtor shall deposit the subject matter according to law.

(5) Exempting creditors from their debts;

(6) Creditor's rights and debts are owned by one person;

(seven) other circumstances stipulated by law or agreed by the parties to terminate.

In addition, if the creditor releases part or all of the debtor's debts, the rights and obligations of the contract are partially or completely terminated; Where the creditor's rights and debts belong to the same person, the rights and obligations of the contract shall be terminated, except those involving the interests of a third party.

After the termination of contractual rights and obligations, the parties shall follow the principle of good faith and perform the obligations of notification, assistance and confidentiality in accordance with trading habits. The termination of contractual rights and obligations shall not affect the validity of the settlement and liquidation clauses in the contract.

Is it legal to sign a lease contract without fingerprints? To sum up, if the parties conclude a contract in the form of a contract, the contract shall be established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.
