Explanation of Article 410
The article stipulates the validity of agreeing to advance the rent, meaning paying it in full at the time of the contract, or agreeing to defer it, meaning paying it in full at the end of the rental period, or agreeing to pay it in installments; such as renting a house for sixty thousand riyals per year, with the rent to be paid in monthly installments of five thousand riyals each.
There is no difference in this regard whether the leased object is specified by itself or by type, or whether the lease contract is immediate or deferred to the future.
If there is doubt as to whether the rent is advanced upon delivery or deferred at the end of the contract, the doubt is interpreted in favor of the party bearing its burden, in accordance with Article (104), which in this case is the lessor; because the default for rent is to be upon delivery of the leased object as stipulated by Article (429).
