Ft., and the market rate for such area, etc., so you can negotiate better with the landlords. Lack of clarity about the area of the premises and terms with the party, landlord, is the most common cause of disputes between the parties.

Terms: Terms and conditions is an important section in an agreement, so also a commercial property lease document should spell out all the terms and conditions in an unambiguous manner. Details such as the commencement of contract, termination of contract, including specific dates, conditions for early termination, and any rules of arbitration thereof need a clear mention.

Rent: The most important things to consider before leasing commercial property are money related, as issues relating to money not only strain relationship between the parties, but it may also impact your business negatively. The lease document should clearly specify the amount of rent, due date, penalty for late payments, deposit amount, if any interest would be paid on such deposit, etc., the rate and time period for increase in rent.

Common Area: Most commercial properties house many offices, as such it becomes important to determine beforehand the common areas and certain common facilities such as lift, parking space etc. The commercial lease should also specify the extent of your responsibility in the maintenance of such common areas and facilities.

Maintenance: The upkeep of the premises is important for your business and is the responsibility of both the tenant and the landlord. Lack of clarity in understanding the responsibility of each party in maintenance of the property results in disputes. The commercial property lease should clarify any questions in relation to the repairs and maintenance of the property. Make sure that the lease agreement offers some time to repay for the damages, if any, to the property.

Misuse of the property: If you as a tenant of the commercial property misuse the property, the landlord under the law can have your business evicted from the premises. Even if you do not use the property for more than 6 months the landlord may file for suit for eviction of your business, for example, the rent control act of Bombay under section 13 offers this right to the landlord.

One important tip for leasing commercial property is that you negotiate on all factors, to ensure that the lease is not completely against you, the tenant, and that it offers you some space and time to adjust to the sudden and unexpected changes in your business or the landlord’s interests.
