Support for Landlords and Tenants

Leasing a commercial property comes with risk—but a clear lease reduces confusion, disputes and stress later on. We help landlords create lease agreements that set expectations early, cover all legal bases and meet NSW leasing regulations. For tenants, we explain what each clause actually means before you commit.


We support new lease setups, lease renewals, mid-term reviews, subletting arrangements and lease transfers. Need help navigating council requirements or zoning issues? We’ll guide you there too. It’s not just about signing the lease—it’s about protecting your interests through every stage of your business.


Whether you're opening a café, leasing an office or expanding your portfolio, we help make sure your lease reflects what you actually agreed to—not just what's on paper.

Avoid Surprises, Protect Your Business

Commercial lease terms can stretch for years—so it’s important to get them right from the start. Common pain points include unclear outgoings, misleading rent clauses or a lack of repair obligations. These issues don’t always show up until something goes wrong. That’s why early legal guidance matters.


We also help with lease disputes, early terminations and exit negotiations. If your lease is due for renewal, we can review it in light of your current needs—not just roll things over as-is.


Every business is different, and every lease should reflect that. We tailor advice to your space, budget and long-term plans. No jargon, no guesswork—just steady legal help that keeps things moving and protects your position.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a commercial lease and how is it different from a residential lease?

    A commercial lease is a legally binding agreement for renting premises used for business purposes—such as shops, offices or warehouses. Unlike residential leases, commercial leases are more flexible in terms of negotiation but offer fewer automatic protections under law.


    Things like lease duration, rent reviews, maintenance responsibilities and exit terms are not standardised and must be clearly written into the contract.


    Because of this flexibility, it’s crucial to understand exactly what’s included before signing.

  • Do I need a lawyer to review a commercial lease?

    Yes, and here’s why: commercial leases are often lengthy, filled with legal terms and can include hidden obligations that aren’t obvious.


    A lawyer or conveyancer can review the lease, explain key terms like outgoings, make sure the landlord hasn’t included unfair clauses, and help negotiate better terms if needed.


    Getting advice early can help avoid serious issues down the line—like being stuck in a lease that doesn’t allow early exit or demands unexpected costs.

  • What should be included in a commercial lease agreement?

    A commercial lease should cover rental amount, lease term, outgoings (like council rates or water), rent increases, repair responsibilities, permitted use of the premises, signage rights, insurance obligations and exit clauses.


    It should also address what happens if either party defaults or if you want to sublease the property. A clear, well-drafted lease protects both landlord and tenant and can help avoid disputes throughout the lease period.

  • How long does a commercial lease usually last in NSW?

    Most commercial leases in NSW last between 3 to 5 years, but terms can vary depending on the property type and the negotiation between both parties. Some small businesses may start with a 1-year lease with an option to renew, while others prefer long-term security.


    It's important to weigh the flexibility you need against the risk of locking into terms that may not suit your business in future. A lawyer can help find that balance
