Understanding Commercial Lease Agreements
Signing a commercial lease is one of the most important decisions a business owner can make. A lease is more than just rent payments—it includes legal responsibilities, maintenance obligations, and potential hidden costs that could impact your business long-term.
At Caspian Legal, we help business owners and tenants understand their lease agreements, negotiate better terms, and avoid costly mistakes.

Key Factors to Consider in a Commercial Lease
✔️ Lease Term & Renewal Options – Clarify lease duration and renewal rights (e.g., 5+3+3 lease).
✔️ Rent & Outgoings – Understand base rent, rate increases, and hidden costs like taxes and utilities.
✔️ Security Deposit & Bank Guarantee – Ensure fair terms for deposit refunds and lease security.
✔️ Maintenance & Repairs – Who is responsible for structural and cosmetic repairs?
✔️ Fit-Out & Alterations – Confirm landlord approval and cost responsibilities for any changes.
✔️ Demolition Clause – Check if the landlord can terminate your lease for redevelopment.
✔️ Promotion Levy & Percentage Rent – Shopping centres may require marketing fees or revenue-based rent.
✔️ Pandemic & Force Majeure Clauses – Does the lease protect you during unforeseen disruptions?
✔️ Disruption Due to Repairs or Construction – Are there rent reductions for major landlord-initiated disruptions?
✔️ Legal Costs – Confirm who is responsible for lease preparation and registration fees.
Commercial Lease Process – What to Expect
📌 1. Initial Lease Review – A thorough legal review of the lease terms and potential risks.
📌 2. Independent Legal Advice – Understanding your rights and obligations before signing.
📌 3. Lease Negotiation – Adjusting unfair terms, such as maintenance obligations or demolition clauses.
📌 4. Signing the Lease – Finalising the agreement and providing a security deposit or bank guarantee.
📌 5. Managing Lease Obligations – Ensuring compliance with rent payments, repairs, and licences.
📌 6. End of Lease or Renewal – Reviewing ‘make-good’ provisions and renewal options.

Daniel Asgharnia
I am beyond grateful for the outstanding service provided by Ryan and his team in helping me secure a visa for my mother after our initial application was refused. From the very start, Ryan demonstrated a deep understanding of immigration law and took the time to thoroughly review our case. What truly impressed me was their dedication and persistence. After the refusal, I was feeling defeated, unsure of how to move forward. However, Ryan guided me through the entire process, providing clear, actionable advice and keeping me informed at every step. They carefully addressed the reasons for the refusal, identified the necessary steps for reapplying, and worked tirelessly to put together a strong case that ultimately led to a successful visa approval. Throughout the entire process, Ryan was not only highly professional but also incredibly compassionate. They understood how important this visa was for my family, and their empathy and commitment made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Thanks to their expertise and hard work, my mother now has the visa she was denied before. I can't recommend Ryan highly enough to anyone dealing with complex immigration issues. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication truly made all the difference.
