WHY YOU NEED A LAWYER FOR COMMERCIAL LEASING

Entering into commercial lease agreements is a significant commitment that can have long-term financial and legal implications.

At Boss Lawyers, we help clients avoid costly mistakes, negotiate fair lease terms, and ensure their rights are fully protected. 

Expert legal guidance is essential in:

KEY ASPECTS OF COMMERCIAL & RETAIL LEASING

Commercial and retail leasing involves complex legal and financial considerations. At Boss Lawyers, we provide clear, practical advice on all key aspects of leasing, ensuring our clients are fully informed and protected.

LEASE NEGOTIATION & DRAFTING

A properly negotiated and drafted lease is the foundation of a strong landlord-tenant relationship. We help:

  • Landlords draft clear, enforceable lease agreements that protect their investment.
  • Tenants negotiate terms that align with their business needs and cash flow.

UNDERSTANDING LEASE TERMS

Every lease includes critical terms that affect long-term viability. In a retail shopping centre, tenants may face additional obligations such as marketing levies, trading hour restrictions, and common area maintenance costs. We help clients navigate these terms to ensure transparency and fairness. We can advise on:

  • Rent structures (fixed, CPI increases, market reviews).
  • Outgoings (who pays for rates, utilities and maintenance).
  • Lease duration and renewal rights.
  • Fit-out and alteration obligations.

RETAIL LEASING VS. COMMERCIAL LEASING

Retail leases have additional protections under state laws. We help retail businesses understand their obligations under the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld) and ensure compliance with disclosure requirements.

SUBLEASING & ASSIGNMENTS

If you need to sublet your space or transfer your lease, we guide you through the legal requirements and landlord approvals necessary to avoid breaches.

UNDERSTAND OBLIGATIONS

Many leases require tenants to restore the premises to their original condition at the end of the term. We clarify these obligations upfront to prevent unexpected costs.

SECURITY & GUARANTEES

Commercial leases often require security deposits, bank guarantees or personal guarantees. We ensure that any security arrangements are fair and legally sound.

COMMERCIAL LEASE DISPUTES & HOW WE HELP

Retail and commercial leases may have disputes arise that can disrupt business operations and lead to significant financial loss. Whether you’re a landlord dealing with a non-compliant tenant or a tenant facing unfair treatment, our commercial lease dispute lawyers can provide strategic advice to resolve conflicts efficiently.

COMMON COMMERCIAL LEASE DISPUTES

UNFAIR LEASE TERMS & BREACH OF CONTRACT

Disputes often arise when one party fails to meet their obligations under the lease. We review the legally binding contracts to assess breaches and pursue the best course of action.

RENT RECOVERY & ARREARS

Landlords have the right to recover unpaid rent, but tenants may also have valid defences. We assist in negotiating payment arrangements, issuing default notices, and enforcing lease terms.

LEASE TERMINATION & EVICTIONS

If a commercial tenant breaches the existing lease, landlords may have the right to terminate. However, the process must follow legal procedures to avoid claims of unlawful eviction. We guide landlords through proper termination processes while protecting tenants from unfair removals.
REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE DISPUTES
Determining responsibility for repairs is a frequent source of conflict. We analyse lease terms to clarify whether landlords or tenants are liable for maintenance and repair costs.

UNLAWFUL TERMINATION & RELIEF AGAINST FORFEITURE

If a landlord terminates a lease unfairly, tenants may seek relief against forfeiture to regain possession of the premises. We represent tenants in seeking legal remedies to protect their rights.

MEDIATION & LITIGATION

Most lease disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, if a fair resolution cannot be reached, we provide legal representation in litigation in court or tribunal proceedings.
