The simple act of reading the lease agreement can prevent costly surprises coming later, Ray White Commercial Toowoomba says.
A thorough examination of the lease is the best way to future proof against any costly surprises that may eventuate.
When signing a lease as a tenant or property owner, ensure you read the agreement properly, and if needed, seek legal/financial/other advice to confirm.
Ray White Commercial Toowoomba has compiled a list of some of the key points to look out for:
Land Tax
Does the tenant pay? Not if it is a Retail Lease! In a Commercial Lease - They may have to pay all or part of the Land Tax, depending on the make up of the property
Maintenance of a property
Does the Tenant pay for all repair, servicing and replacement of property equipment? Might be expensive if an A/C has to be replaced outside of warranty.
Is the rent Gross or Net?
Does the rent include or exclude outgoings? What proportion of outgoings are you responsible for?
Insurance
Does a tenant need their own? Do they have to pay for the Owner's building insurance?
These are but a few of the "minefields" that a tenant/owner may fail to see and therefore become a very costly mistake.
Ray White Commercial Toowoomba can assist with the above when helping to negotiate a lease between a tenant and owner.
