Landlords

To protect your investment you want to make sure your commercial leasing arrangements include any specific conditions that you need. While a standard commercial property rental agreement may be fine, you may want to tailor it to protect your property, include incentives to tenants or provide special conditions to renew the lease. You may also need to make a claim under the agreement if your property has damage, you incur a loss or a tenant is breaking a business lease.

If an agent looks after your properties for lease, it’s also important that your Agent’s Authority includes any special provisions you want to make sure your property is managed properly.

Tenants

Entering into or renegotiating a commercial lease agreement can be daunting but it doesn’t have to be. Our experienced lawyers know what your rights are and can help you get a fair solution for your business. This may include negotiating terms that give you access to lease incentives, options, early termination or the ability to sublet under commercial tenancy law. If you have issues with your landlord you may also need advice on how to address these.

  • Give you advice on what your obligations are under commercial rental law
  • Explain your commercial lease options
  • Guide you on how to structure your lease
  • Help you deal with any loss, damage or structural issues to the commercial property
  • Help you navigate a potential breach of your commercial rental agreement
  • Explain your rights when terminating a commercial lease
  • Prepare and negotiate your commercial real estate contract
