Retail and Commercial Leases 

 

A retail or commercial lease is a legally binding contract between a business owner and the owner of the real estate property.

These types of contract are and can be very complex and is usually drafted to reflect the individual situation.  The lease terms and conditions have to be drafted well and carefully reviewed to make sure that they reflect the needs of your business, as any mistakes at the beginning or shortfall in drafting can make or break a new business.

Negotiation of lease terms

Lease terms and conditions are negotiable and we can help you with negotiation more favourable terms.  Some of the terms that may be reviewed and negotiated include rental amount, frequency and amount of rental increases, term of the lease, provisions in relation to transfer and assignment of lease and outgoings the tenant is liable to pay.

Tenants - What you should look out for

  • Duration of lease - is the period suitable for you and your business, we can discuss this with you and request changes if necessary

  • is the rental increases reasonable? - this is important especially to a new business and should be carefully considered and negotiated with the landlord

  • what are the outgoings you are liable for? - another important term and sometimes overlooked and can cause hardship to a new business if not considered at the outset
