Clear leasing agreements

As the fast-growing Australian property market meets greater demand for commercial and retail developments, businesses need solid and clear leasing agreements.

Leases are unique in that they endure for considerable time and the ongoing relationship between the landlord and the tenant is essential as an aspect of your business.

Commercial leasing laws vary for different types of commercial and retail environments. Businesses looking to offer or enter into leasing agreements need to consider how all the elements work together that impact the leased property’s rent level, length of term, right to renew, and security of occupation.

Any business looking to enter into a leasing agreement should always seek out professional advice
​before making any formal commitment.
