Key parts of our Standard Commercial Lease (there are many more)...
Owning a commercial space can be one the most rewarding investments you make. Finding the right tenant is important, but protecting your investment with the right commercial lease is just as, if not more, important!
Leases are legally binding so it is important to have a lawyer prepare the right lease for your premises, and the business the tenant wants to run from it.
A properly drafted lease can avoid expensive misunderstandings that could cost both landlord and tenant more money in the future, disputing their rights and obligations.
We provide this service Queensland wide, but if you wish to meet, we have offices in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast.

When should you use this Commercial Lease?
This is our standardised full commercial lease drafted by us to include all the usual terms, conditions and clauses found in most commercial leases in Queensland.
It will adequately protect a landlords property in most situations. However, the terms do not overly favour the lessor or the lessee, and try to strike a fair and reasonable balance between the rights and obligations of both, having regard to their status.
However, if the premises are of a particularly high value, or the business to be traded is unusual, dangerous, or uncommon, or you require a substantial amount of special conditions, then it may be best to have us review your circumstances and draft a bespoke commercial lease.
