Tips on Negotiating a Commercial Lease

What is a commercial lease?

A commercial lease is a written agreement between a landlord and a business tenant. This legally binding contract allows you, as the tenant, to use the commercial premises for your business activity for a specified period of time by promising to pay an agreed-upon rate to the landlord.

Leasing a commercial space is often a two-part process. First you sign the offer to lease. Then, after negotiations take place, you sign the lease containing the details of the negotiations.
