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.
