Leases
A lease, whether commercial or residential, is a legally binding contract between the property owner and the person who occupies it. There are a range of issues associated with managing the property asset and the legal agreements that underpin the revenue stream generated from it.
Our team has broad experience advising on leasing, licensing, and associated asset management issues from both a landlord’s and a tenant’s perspective. Our work ranges from agreements for lease, leases of existing buildings and/or dwellings, sub-leases, variations of lease, licences, surrender of leases and assignments of lease. Our team’s experience and expertise includes:
- preparing agreements for lease, leases, sub-leases, variations of leases, licences, surrender of leases, disclosure statements, assignments of leases and other ancillary documents for all types of property, including residential, retail, commercial, office and industrial premises;
- providing legal advice about the application of the retail tenancy and residential tenancy legislation in Victoria;
