Leasing for Landlords or Agents

How do I get a Lease Written for Tenants who want to rent my Commercial Premises

As a commercial landlord, securing a well-drafted lease is crucial to protecting your investment and ensuring a smooth rental arrangement with your tenants. A lease agreement is more than just a contract—it defines the rights and responsibilities of both parties, setting the foundation for a successful tenancy. At Gateway Law Group, we specialize in drafting tailored commercial leases that safeguard your interests while complying with all legal requirements.

Why a Professionally Drafted Lease is Essential

A properly written lease agreement helps prevent disputes, clarifies financial obligations, and ensures compliance with Queensland’s leasing laws. Without expert guidance, landlords risk creating agreements that are legally unenforceable or leave them vulnerable to unexpected costs and liabilities.

Gateway Law Group provides expert legal assistance to help you navigate the complexities of commercial leasing, ensuring your lease agreement is comprehensive and legally sound.

Key Components of a Commercial Lease

When preparing a lease, it’s essential to address key terms such as:

• Lease Duration & Renewal Terms: Define the lease period, renewal options, and notice periods for termination.

• Rent & Outgoings: Clearly outline the rental amount, payment schedule, and who is responsible for outgoings such as rates, insurance, and maintenance.

• Permitted Use: Specify how the premises can be used to avoid conflicts and ensure compliance with zoning regulations.

• Repairs & Maintenance: Determine the responsibilities of both landlord and tenant regarding property upkeep.

• Security Deposits & Guarantees: Protect your investment with appropriate security measures.

• Legal Compliance: Ensure the lease aligns with Queensland’s Retail Shop Leases Act (if applicable) and other relevant laws.
