Retail & Commercial Leases

UB Law can provide assistance with retail and commercial leases in a number of capacities. It is important to seek legal advice from an experienced commercial lawyer before entering a lease, or before putting a lease before lessee. We can advise as to whether the lease falls under the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld) and ensure that all relevant requirements are complied with.

  • The term of the lease

  • The security over the lease

  • Letter of offer/agreement to lease

  • Insurance

  • Assignment

  • Rent review

  • Outgoings

  • Breach of contract

  • Options on leases
