A Commercial Lease Agreement sets out the rights and obligations of the owner of a commercial property (known as the landlord or lessor) and another party that has agreed to occupy the property (known as the tenant or lessee). It covers important topics like the length of the lease, termination rights, defects management, outgoings, fitout works, limits on use of the premises, sub-letting, and other rights and responsibilities of the landlord and tenant.

During the process of drafting a Commercial Lease Agreement, it is important you engage a good legal professional to ensure you are appropriately protected.

Our fixed-fee Commercial Lease Drafting packages start at $2000 + GST. This includes preparing a commercial lease to meet your needs, phone consultations with our friendly team and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide to you.
