FAQS About Leases in NSW
What is the difference between a commercial lease and a retail lease?
A commercial lease generally applies to office spaces and industrial properties, while a retail lease applies to premises used for selling goods or services directly to the public. Retail leases are governed by the Retail Leases Act, which includes additional tenant protections.
Can I break a lease early?
Yes, but early termination may involve penalties or other legal consequences. Our expert lawyers can help you negotiate a favourable exit strategy and minimise costs.
How can I resolve a dispute?
Disputes can often be resolved through negotiation or mediation. If necessary, we can represent you in legal proceedings to protect your interests.
