Commercial Leasing
Commercial and Retail Leases
Commercial leasing relates to premises being leased for commercial use. Shops, consulting rooms, and premises for carrying on an enterprise have their rental terms and conditions set out in a commercial lease. As such, Commercial and Retail leases are important documents. A lease once signed sets out the terms of the landlord and tenant relationship for many years. So, it is important to get it right.
Landlords and tenants have different priorities.
Landlords
From a landlord’s perspective a good lease is one that imposes maximum obligations on the tenant for maintenance, repairs, make good and outgoings.
Tenants
Whereas a tenant will always want to minimise these obligations. It is important that a commercial or retail lease strikes a fair balance between these two opposing positions.
