Leasing
When you enter into a lease it can be for a multitude of property types eg. rural land, retail tenancy premises, office premises, factories and many others.
Some premises are regulated by the State Government as to the manner in which the lease transaction must proceed. This applies to a retail tenancy in particular and the landlord must disclose various matters to have an enforceable agreement.
It's best to obtain early advice from us on all leasing transactions.
