commercial lease

Shop tenancy agreement

A commercial lease is a contract allowing a business to rent property for non-residential purposes—offices, retail spaces, warehouses, restaurants.

Unlike residential leases, commercial leases typically run longer, involve more negotiation, and offer fewer tenant protections under the law.

Terms cover rent, permitted uses, maintenance responsibilities, and renewal options: They signed a five-year commercial lease for the storefront.
