Landlord & Tenant Issues
The drawing up of residential and commercial leases
is normally done through a solicitor. Statutory regulations and terms
of leases drawn up between landlords and tenants provide the legal framework
in cases where disputes arise. Under the law, it is important that both
parties fully understand and comply with their rights and duties under
the terms of the lease.
Residential Leases
Residential leases protect both the lessor and the lessee. It protects the landlord's property and the deposit paid by the tenant.

Commercial Leases Commercial leases are similarly constituted to residential leases. However, it is vitally important that both parties are aware of their legal position in respect of the lease. Normally, the landlord's solicitor will draft the lease, so it is essential that any prospective tenant seeks independent legal advice to ensure they are conversant with their liabilities. In particular, attention should be taken with any stipulations regarding rent renewal, management fees and repair clauses etc. All
commercial leases, like those for the residential sector, provide
a contractual framework that includes: provision for rent; insurance;
payment for utilities; notice (in the case of termination); agreed
usage; rights of access; sub-contracting and compliance with planning
regulations. |
