Commercial Lease Agreement Services Tailored to Your Business

A commercial lease agreement is one of the most important documents in any business operation. Whether you’re renting office space, opening a retail store, or leasing industrial premises, this agreement defines your rights, responsibilities, and the long-term security of your business location.

At PM Attorneys, we provide professional legal services designed to safeguard your interests in every phase of a commercial lease agreement. From drafting and reviewing to advising and resolving disputes, our expert team is here to make sure your lease works for you—not against you.

What Is a Commercial Lease Agreement and Why It Matters

A commercial lease agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant for the rental of business property. Unlike residential leases, commercial leases are often more complex and less regulated—making legal oversight essential.

Key Elements of a Commercial Lease Agreement

Every valid and effective commercial lease agreement should cover the following:

  • Identification of the parties (landlord and tenant) 
  • Description of the leased property 
  • Lease term (fixed or renewable) 
  • Rental amount and escalation terms 
  • Usage rights and restrictions 
  • Maintenance responsibilities 
  • Termination clauses and renewal options 

At PM Attorneys, we ensure these elements are not only included but clearly defined and compliant with current South African property law.
