Commercial Lease Agreement for ACT – Australian Capital Territory

By using a property lease, the property owner protects their investment in a couple of ways.

Firstly, it clearly sets out the do’s and don’ts of the leasing arrangement so both parties understand their obligations to each other.

Secondly, if the tenant breaches any of the lease terms, then the landlord can take action based knowing they can rely on the lease as solid proof as to what was initially agreed upon.

Common breaches include events such as:

• late or non payment of rent;
• damage to property; or
• tenant using a property unlawfully or contrary to the permitted use.

Just imagine what it would be like to have to deal with any of these situations based on a verbal or inferred agreement.

If your tenant does not agree with your version of events, which is likely because human beings rarely remember things in exactly the same way, then it’s most likely that discussions with the tenant are going to quickly turn into arguments.

Animosity reduces your ability to resolve the current breach and sets the stage for future unhappiness. This affects your financial bottom line because an unhappy tenant is less likely to treat your property well or pay their rent as required.

An investment that’s paying it’s own way can fast turn into a money pit that requires constant topping up.

Another factor to bear in mind, is if this scenario plays out to a worst case example and you need to go to Court, you will have a near impossible task proving your case without a solid paper trail.

So don’t take the risk of relying on a verbal agreement – put it in writing by using our professinally drafted Commercial Lease Agreement. At it’s a no-brainer!
