What is a Commercial Lease Agreement?

A commercial lease is a legally binding contract between a landlord and tenant, setting out the terms and conditions for renting business premises. It defines key details such as rental terms, duration, rights, and responsibilities – providing clarity and security for both parties. A well-structured lease agreement is essential for minimising disputes, protecting interests, and ensuring a smooth leasing experience.
