The lease is a binding contract for both parties and cannot be revoked except by their mutual consent. However, if one party stipulates a permissible condition, then they are bound to fulfill it when its cause is realized, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Muslims are bound by their conditions," especially if the matter relates to honoring one's parents.
