Commercial leases are often signed in haste, especially when a business is eager to secure premises. However, a poorly negotiated lease can create significant liability down the line.
Before signing, businesses should pay close attention to rent review clauses, maintenance obligations, exit terms and dispute resolution mechanisms. Many landlords include clauses that heavily favour their interests, and tenants without legal guidance often accept terms they later regret.
Our real estate team at Law Castle reviews and negotiates commercial leases on behalf of both tenants and landlords, ensuring our clients fully understand their obligations and protections before any signature is appended.
