Once your rental requirements have been confirmed, we can inform you of the costs associated with the organization of your rental agreement. The legal costs associated with preparing a retail store lease are paid by the owner. In all other cases, they are paid by the tenant. Repairs and maintenance are the responsibility of the tenant, but all the work that may be required for the construction is the responsibility of the owner. This issue can be controversial if there is disagreement about the nature of the shortage.

The rental agreement generally stipulates that all signs require the owner`s consent. Since proper signage can be an essential element of the success of the taker`s business, the issue should be discussed and agreed upon before the lease is signed. As the rental of your commercial premises can be operational for many years, it is important that the rental document contains all the conditions you need. We recommend that you ask your lawyer to explain any clause in the lease. Your lawyer can also help you negotiate lease terms that match your business. The Code of Conduct came into force in all states and territories from April 3, 2020 (since the national cabinet of a number of principles governing the code governing commercial leases affected by the COVID19 pandemic) will be defined by each jurisdiction for the period during which the federal government`sKeeper Job program will remain operational. The insurance required by the tenant is defined in the rental agreement. While the tenant`s authorized use of the premises is indicated, it is the tenant`s responsibility to ensure that their use meets the Requirements of the Council. If there is any doubt as to the admissibility of the use, the matter should be considered before signing a lease agreement. If the premises are part of a centre/complex with several types of rental, a tenant may wish an exclusive right to use within the complex. Some leases require the tenant to carry out a renovation of the building after a certain period and/or after the termination of the tenancy agreement; at the tenant`s expense. Among the most important clauses are the clauses for changing the rental price, the end of the tenant`s tenancy obligations, the bank guarantee or the rental loan and, if necessary, personal guarantees.
