Clear Answers to Your Commercial Leasing Questions, Backed by Melbourne’s Leading Property Lawyers
Have Questions About Commercial Leasing?
We Have the Answers
Before signing a commercial lease, it’s critical to understand key terms like rent reviews, lease duration, renewal options, and your obligations for repairs or outgoings. Overlooking these details can lead to unexpected costs or disputes.
Our experienced commercial lease lawyers in Melbourne will carefully review your lease agreement to ensure it aligns with your business goals and protects your interests.
Commercial lease disputes, whether related to unpaid rent, property maintenance, or breaches of contract, can often be resolved through negotiation or mediation. If disputes escalate, legal intervention or litigation may be necessary to achieve a fair resolution.
Our team provides tailored strategies to address disputes efficiently, minimising disruption to your business while protecting your rights under the lease.
Yes, commercial lease terms are often negotiable. You can discuss rent amounts, lease duration, fit-out contributions, and flexibility on renewals or break clauses. Effective negotiation can save costs and secure terms that benefit your business.
Our commercial leasing experts offer strategic advice and skilled negotiation to help you achieve favourable lease terms while avoiding costly pitfalls.
What should I look for in a commercial lease agreement?
A commercial lease agreement includes key terms such as rent, lease duration, fit-out responsibilities, repairs, and termination clauses. It’s crucial to understand your obligations and rights to avoid unexpected costs or disputes. Our experienced commercial lease lawyers will help you review and negotiate the terms to protect your interests.
How can I resolve a commercial lease dispute quickly?
Many commercial lease disputes, such as unpaid rent, property damage, or disagreements over repairs, can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. Seeking legal advice early helps to identify the best course of action. If necessary, we provide expert representation to resolve matters in court effectively.
Can I negotiate the terms of my commercial lease?
Yes, most commercial leases are negotiable. You can discuss key terms like rent, lease duration, options for renewal, and incentives such as rent-free periods. Our team specialises in commercial lease negotiations to secure favourable terms tailored to your business needs.
What are my options if my tenant or landlord breaches the lease?
If a breach occurs—such as failure to pay rent or maintain the property—you may have options like termination of the lease, claiming compensation, or pursuing legal action. Our Melbourne lease lawyers will assess the situation and recommend the best legal strategy to protect your rights.
What costs are involved in commercial lease disputes?
The cost of resolving a lease dispute depends on its complexity, the resolution method (negotiation, mediation, or litigation), and the time required. We offer transparent pricing and will provide an estimate during your initial consultation. Flexible fee arrangements, including fixed fees, may be available.
How can a commercial lease lawyer help me?
A commercial lease lawyer ensures your lease agreements are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your goals. They can assist with reviewing terms, negotiating agreements, resolving disputes, and handling lease assignments or terminations to safeguard your financial and legal interests.
Can I terminate a commercial lease early?
Yes, early termination of a commercial lease is possible, but it depends on the terms of your agreement and the specific circumstances. Common options include break clauses, mutual agreement, or situations where the landlord or tenant has breached the lease. Our commercial lease lawyers can review your contract and provide advice on your rights and options for an early exit.
What is the process for assigning or subleasing a commercial property?
Assigning or subleasing a commercial property requires consent from the landlord and compliance with the terms of your lease. It involves transferring your rights or allowing another party to occupy the premises. Our legal team will guide you through the process, ensuring all documentation is handled correctly and your interests are protected.
