Our commercial lease agreements have been written for property professionals who need superior control over the tenant and the property, and an institutional quality agreement that will be accepted by lenders. Drawn by an experienced commercial property lawyer, they contain more provisions than any others available on the Internet, including a draft authorised guarantee agreement, a draft agreement for security deposit, and full service charge arrangements. If you don't need the more esoteric provisions, you might like to see our range of business lease agreements.
