The first step a Sydney Commercial Lawyer should take when acting in a commercial lease matter is to determine whether the Retail Leases Act 1994 applies. This is especially the case for the lessor (otherwise known as the landlord), since the law imposes a range of preliminary steps prior to entering into a retail lease agreement. In addition, several aspects of retail leases are governed or influenced by the Retail Leases Act 1994. A Commercial Lease Lawyer can assist you regardless of whether you are a lessor or lessee.
Retail leases are a type of commercial lease governed by the Retail Leases Act 1994.
For lessors in a retail lease matter, our Commercial Lawyers and Lease Lawyers will:
