How we can help you

A lease is not a ‘fill in the blanks’ document. Every commercial relationship is unique just like every commercial lease. To get the best results you need a tailored agreement for your particular and special parameters of your landlord and tenant relationship.

Here’s how we can help:

  • How much rent will be and how is it paid
  • Unpaid lease penalties or sanctions
  • When rent will be reviewed, and the method of review
  • Security e.g. bond or bank guarantee, personal or directors guarantee
  • Whether or not the Retail Shops Act applies
  • Requirements for licenses, intellectual property and signage
  • Unique rights depending on the type of property or business
  • What and who pays outgoings, rates, insurance, upkeep etc
  • How the lease can be terminated and by who and for what reasons
  • Make good provisions e.g. termination responsibilities

What you need to know about commercial lease disputes

Commercial relationships that fail are sometimes called commercial divorces, and they can be every bit as stressful and expensive to resolve as a regular divorce. Commercial leasing is no different; as landlord and tenant disputes can be bitter and hard fought, and expensive. Often the dispute arises because the precise obligations of the parties are not clear. Either it is because the lease in place is old and out of date or was poorly drafted to begin with, or in the worst case, there is no lease in place at all.

In both cases the disputes are so bitter because each side does not really know where they stand. Often the landlord and tenant are working on a sort of vague agreed set of terms that have no fixed limits. That means when something goes wrong, for example the roof leaks after a storm, or a tree falls down in the carpark, or the carpet runs bare and someone trips and falls and is seriously injured, the parties don’t know who is at fault or who should bear the responsibility.

A good lease, drafted sensitively and professionally by commercial lawyers is often the big difference between the issue being dealt with quickly and it turning into all out war. This is particularly so when buildings fail, or circumstances change and tenants want to break their lease or perform changes to the tenancy.

During the life of a lease lawyers are best engaged at the beginning, to draft the lease and give advice, and at termination. The input of lawyers at both stages is vital, firstly to get the boundaries right, and to resolve the disputes as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
