Retail & Commercial Lease Sydney

Posted on Apr 6th, 2018

Are you a tenant entering a lease? Or does your business require a lease to start? What kind of lease do you require? All of these questions can be confusing for a common man and there is a lot to consider when it comes to commercial and retail leases. That is why you require a professional Leasing Lawyer to help you to review all the documents carefully before signing and provide you with legal advice. But before that, let’s understand the difference between the two types of leases; retail & commercial.

What is a Commercial Lease?

An agreement between a landlord / lessor and a tenant / lessee is called a commercial lease.

What is a Retail Lease?

A Retail lease is similar to a commercial lease but it is used for a retail shop business.
