Retail and Commercial Leases

Retail and Commercial Leases are complex – and incredibly important – documents.

Don’t mess them up – ensure your lease is 100% watertight before you sign the dotted line.

Lease documents address the rights of both the landlord and the tenant regarding a range of different situations during the term of the lease, and are tightly regulated by the Retail Lease Act 1994.

Protect your money and ensure that you aren’t left out of pocket. A property law expert will avoid leasing disputes and ensure all disclosures are made.

As with a lease, the terms of a licence agreement must be put in writing, reviewed by a property lawyer and signed by all parties to the transaction.
