A commercial lease agreement is a contract between a landlord and a business for the rental of property. Most businesses will choose to rent property instead of buying it because it requires less capital. Before signing a commercial lease, it is important to obtain legal advice to understand the lease contract that defines the rights and responsibilities of each party.

Leasing of commercial and retail spaces can be complex. There are not only legal obligations, but tax considerations, particularly regarding GST.

Our thoroughness ensures every detail is reviewed when you lease your business premises:

• Verifying details in lease disclosure statements
• Advising on and negotiating amendments of lease documents
• Following up on stamping and registration of the lease and return of a copy of the lease to the client

It is important to know the ins and outs of commercial lease agreements before signing on the dotted line.

Ensure you understand your next commercial lease.
