What do you need to consider when entering into a commercial lease?


A commercial lease is a complex legal agreement that can create substantial liability for the landlord and tenant. A lease also serves as a guide for each party during the term of the lease and details the landlord and tenant's respective rights and obligations. It's important for both parties to fully understand the terms of the lease. Some of the most important factors to consider in a commercial lease include the following:

  1. Whether the lease must be personally guaranteed
  2. The permissible uses of the leased premises
  3. The length of the lease
  4. Whether the tenant has options to extend the lease and at what rate
  5. Whether or not the rent will increase over the term of the lease
  6. How lease disputes will be resolved
  7. Insurance coverage obligations
  8. Who is responsible for maintenance and what happens in the event of an emergency or failure interrupting the tenant's business
  9. Whether the tenant can make improvements, landlord's approval process, and who owns those improvements upon expiration or termination of the lease
  10. How the tenant must leave the leased premises at the end of the term
