Our commercial property lawyers can be extremely helpful when dealing with a commercial lease. Here’s how we can help:
- Reviewing and Drafting Lease Agreements: Wherever the property is located in New Zealand we can ensure that the lease terms are fair and legally sound. We can draft new lease agreements or review existing ones to identify any potential issues.
- Negotiating Terms: Our business lawyers in Auckland can help negotiate favourable terms for both landlords and tenants, such as rent, lease duration, renewal options, and responsibilities for maintenance and repairs.
- Ensuring Compliance: We can ensure that the lease complies with all relevant laws and regulations, which can vary depending on the location and type of business.
- Identifying Hidden Clauses: We can spot and explain any hidden or complex clauses that might not be immediately obvious, such as ratchet clauses, which could increase rent over time.
- Handling Disputes: If any disputes arise between the landlord and tenant, we can provide advice to help resolve the issues through negotiation, mediation, or litigation if necessary.
- Protecting Your Interests: Ultimately, our role as lawyers is to protect your interests, ensuring that the lease agreement is beneficial and that you are aware of all your rights and obligations.
