What is a
Commercial Lease?
A commercial lease in Queensland is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant for the rental of commercial property, such as office space, retail premises, or industrial units. This lease agreement specifies the terms and conditions under which the tenant can occupy the property, including the rental amount, the duration of the lease, and the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Differences Between
Retail and
Commercial Leases
In Queensland, retail shop leases are crafted for businesses that sell products or services, typically within clusters of five or more shops and often located in shopping centers. These leases are specifically designed to comply with the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994, which has strict requirements designed to protect tenants.
On the other hand, commercial leases are used for non-retail premises such as offices, industrial spaces, or warehouses. These leases are not governed by specific legislative protections, necessitating more rigorous negotiations between tenants and landlords. The flexibility of commercial leases comes with the responsibility of ensuring all terms are clearly defined to safeguard tenant rights.
How
Airlie Legal Can Help
Ensure favourable lease terms and avoid legal pitfalls with Airlie Legal. We provide personalised legal services for all your retail and commercial leasing needs.
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your specific leasing needs and objectives. We assess your situation, review any existing lease documents, and provide a clear plan of action tailored to your requirements.
Lease Review and Drafting
Airlie Legal will thoroughly review and draft leases to protect your interests. For tenants, this includes ensuring your rights are protected before you sign. For landlords, we draft leases that safeguard your investments and comply with legal standards.
Airlie Legal provides detailed contract reviews, highlighting any potential issues and explaining your obligations and rights. We ensure that the lease agreement is clear, fair, and legally sound.
- Short-Term Leases - While short-term leases provide flexibility, they come with the risk that the business might not recoup its investment. The conditions of a short-term lease are generally similar to those of a long-term lease.
- Long-Term Leases - Long-term leases offer more stability compared to short-term leases but also commit the business to paying rent even if it's unable to operate. Any lease exceeding three years must be registered with the Titles Registry.
