Commercial leases: Step-by-step guide
Course Overview
Do you know the ins and outs of leases for commercial properties – as opposed to residential properties?
In this course you’ll learn about what elements make commercial leases distinct entities, covering properties such as shops, factories and offices.
You’ll gain the skills to process commercial leases on behalf of your clients. You’ll build your confidence to steer them through what’s involved – from preparing to amending to registering the lease.
At the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Advise clients on entering into a commercial lease from the landlord’s (lessor) and tenant’s (lessee) perspectives
- Determine whether the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW) applies to the transaction
- Carry out the steps in a commercial lease – from receiving instructions through to registration
- Identify the amendments required to a lease clause
Note: This course covers leases of land under the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW) (RPA). The terms and conditions of leases of land under the old system title are substantially similar to Torrens Title leases – but there are some notable differences relating to their form, title and registration.
The course contains content that falls within the mandatory CPD categories of Ethics and Professional Skills.
