neutral  Inge Luus: I would be more careful with using disposition in this context as the term also means to sell or give away and, given that this is a lease agreement, the property would not be the lessee's to dispose of.

neutral  Susanne Ofner: I'm not sure at all if it could indeed be power of disposition. To me, the phrase just means that getting the keys gives to the right to use the flat in the way stipulated in the agreement.

control of the premises


Explanation:
...is how I read the term in your context.

Generally, a landlord and tenant relationship exists if (1) the property owner consents to occupancy of the premises; (2) the tenant acknowledges that the owner has title to the property and a future interest in the property; (3) the owner actually has title to the property; (4) the tenant receives a limited right to use the premises; (5) the owner transfers possession and control of the premises to the tenant; and (6) a contract to rent exists between the parties.

"tenant" + "control of the premises"
