One of the biggest decisions for a business is the decision to enter into a commercial lease.

Every business needs appropriate premises to allow them to operate and grow their enterprise, but once you have signed the lease— if something then goes wrong — resolving the problem can be costly.

Havilah Legal knows that businesses are often caught out in the commercial leasing contract process, and knows you may be unaware about the nature and scope of the lease document, as well as your rights.

Many businesses sign on the dotted line without the benefit of advice but later find they are facing unforeseen consequences.

It is also common for a business to discover that while they think they may have discussed and agreed on issues such as outgoings, landlord obligations, what uses are permitted and access to the property, their understanding of these agreements may not be reflected in the wording of the final lease document.

An important clause is that in the event of dispute, the business receives adequate and timely notice with an opportunity to rectify the problem rather than face eviction.

Other questions that should be addressed include whether you can assign the lease to a new owner if you sell the business, whether the lease includes a process for arbitration in the case of a disagreement between tenant and landlord and how and when rent increases will occur.

For property owners, it is equally vital that your investment and rights are protected and that any lease agreement will not leave you out of pocket.
