COMMERCIAL LEASE LAWYERS SYDNEY

Commercial lease lawyers sydney

If you are thinking about setting up a cafe or retail shop in Australia or own commercial property in Sydney and North Shore, it is likely that at some point you have heard of or entered into a lease.

In a nutshell, a lease is a contract or agreement where one party (tenant or lessee) agrees to rent property owned by another party (landlord or lessor) under a set of terms which also comes with rights and obligations.

A lease can be a commercial lease or a retail lease, both of which have different rules and regulations. A commercial lease involves commercial property leased to the tenant looking to run some business on their property, whereas a retail lease is a type of commercial lease that is wholly or predominately used to conduct a retail shop business.

If you are thinking about entering into a lease, or want to lease out your property, it is important to have an experienced leasing lawyer who will guide you through the process to ensure your rights are looked after and you know what you are getting yourself into. This is particularly important as leases are very different to a simple rental agreement, and come with greater commitment and risk.

A badly drafted lease, or inadequate advice when entering into a lease can cost a business thousands and can break a business. It pays to have an experienced leasing lawyer to protect you in these circumstances.

Retail and Commercial Lease Lawyers North Shore

In NSW, retail leases are governed by, amongst other things, the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW), which is distinct to the legislation for commercial leases. Each state and territory has their own laws dealing with retail leases.

Over the years, there have been various changes to the Retail Leases Act.

Retail leases generally provide greater protections for a tenant or lessee, when compared to commercial leases. Schedule 1 of the Retail Leases Act provides guidance in determining what is a retail lease and what is a commercial lease.
