5 key clauses to include in a commercial lease agreement

In the commercial rental industry, there is no single Act that regulates commercial rentals and commercial lease agreements. As a result, the responsibility lies on landlords and property practitioners to make sure that they are adequately protected.

More specifically, there are 5 critical clauses that need to be included in a commercial lease to ensure maximum protection of the asset and the landlord’s property. These are:

  • Rental
  • Additional Costs
  • Deposit
  • Maintenance
  • Breach

With five core clauses in place, a lawful and equally beneficial commercial rental relationship with your tenant can be secured. For a better understanding, read the full Commercial LeasePack Update February 2023 here.
