Legal Assistance With Retail & Commercial Leasing In Tweed & Gold Coast
Retail & Commercial Leases
At Budd & Piper Solicitors & Conveyancers, our legal team has extensive experience in leasing matters. Based at Tweed Heads, we work with clients in New South Wales and Queensland.
Leases are long-term legal and financial commitments. Leasing costs, including rent and outgoings, are a major expense for any business. If you are a lessee, it is important that you fully understand your rights and obligations under any lease before you enter into it. Equally, if you are a lessor (or landlord) it is crucial that any lease you enter into in respect of your investment property fully protects your legal and commercial interests.
Our Tweed Heads solicitor has extensive experience in leasing law. We can advise you on your rights and obligations and give you our view on whether the lease contains all necessary terms and conditions required to protect your interests. We can provide you with cost-effective advice in relation to a proposed lease, as well as drafting, reviewing and amending lease documents.
If you are looking to rent property, or if you are leasing property to another individual or business, it is always recommended that you engage the services of a qualified solicitor with experience in such matters. Leasing law covers the rights and obligations of lessors and lessees, taking into account commercial considerations, security of tenure, and the need to strike the right balance between certainty and flexibility. We also advise in relation to other statutory requirements.

Changes To Tenancies Act
When it comes to leasing and tenancy laws – whether you are a tenant or landlord – it is essential to know your rights and responsibilities.
On 23 March 2020, there were several changes to residential tenancy laws in New South Wales, with amendments being made to the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and the new Residential Tenancies Regulation 2019.
The overall changes are designed to improve tenants’ renting experience, while also ensuring that landlords can effectively manage their properties. These amendments and changes stretch from setting minimum standards to clarifying the term ‘fit for habitation’; new smoke alarm obligations for landlords; water efficiency measures; limiting rent increases for periodic leases to once every 12 months – and much more.

We can guide you through leasing agreements, contract terms and obligations, helping ensure you fully understand where you stand from a legal standpoint, and what resources are available to you.
