What is a commercial lease agreement
A commercial lease agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions governing the rental of commercial property. Unlike residential leases, commercial leases involve properties used for business purposes, such as offices, retail spaces, or industrial facilities.
Commercial leases are inherently more complicated than residential leases for several reasons. They often involve detailed provisions related to business operations, zoning regulations, compliance with commercial codes, maintenance responsibilities, and the customization of space to suit the tenant’s specific business needs. The financial and legal implications of commercial leases demand a higher level of sophistication compared to residential leases.
