Leases

Many small businesses lease their building or workspace. If you lease commercial premises, whether it is an office or a restaurant, a retail space or a unit in an industrial park, you will need a lease agreement. This is a document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both landlord and tenant. For most small businesses, the commercial lease for the premises they work from is one of the most important contractual documents. All commercial lease agreements must comply with the Property Law Act and they are often long and packed with legal jargon. That’s why it’s important to ask our experienced business lawyers for assistance. We will make sure to explain everything to you in everyday language, and we can help you negotiate the terms of the lease with the other party if needed. Whether you are the landlord or the tenant we can help you negotiate a new lease, or vary an existing lease. As a result, you will have properly drafted documents and you will know exactly what you are agreeing to before signing any contracts. Contact us – 0800 LAW SHOP – team@thelawshop.co.nz.
