RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL LEASES

Leases are either commercial or retail in nature (other than residential leases). Depending on the nature of the lease, different rules and regulations apply. It is important that the correct lease is entered into to ensure the appropriate regulatory framework is applied and adhered to.
