Leasing commercial or retail premises involves more than agreeing on rent or the length of the tenancy. Lease terms can have long-term financial, operational and legal consequences for your business.
SLB Legal assists Victorian landlords and business owners with commercial and retail leasing matters, ensuring lease terms are clearly drafted, understood and appropriately negotiated before commitments are made.
We help landlords with drafting and negotiating leases which comply with relevant legislation and protect them from the risks to their property from a tenants use and occupation.
We also help tenants by reviewing and negotiating commercial or retail leases for Victorian tenancies before they sign. We can help you to identify key risks, understand ongoing obligations, and negotiate terms that support the practical operation of the business.
Our leasing work includes:
- Victorian commercial lease drafting, review and negotiations
- drafting, review and negotiation of Victorian retail leases and provision of disclosure statements under the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic)
- assignment and transfers of leases
- sub-leasing and licences
- renewals, variations and early exit advice
