Whether you are a Landlord or a Tenant, the decision to enter into a commercial or retail lease is not to be treated lightly. By entering a lease, both the Landlord and the Tenant are likely to have significant legal and financial obligations to each other and it is important that proper and specialised legal advice is sought prior to signing on the dotted line.

It is essential that your lease is meticulously drafted with plain English and unambiguous language to ensure that both parties fully understand their obligations under a lease and to mitigate the prospects of any disputes during (and after) the term of your lease.
