For businesses that are just starting out, buying one might not be a practical solution. However, leasing an office suite is a good solution as it offers lot of flexibility besides great cost-benefits.
A commercial lease agreement is a bond between the owner and the tenant that binds them legally. The lease agreement allows the tenant to use the property for commercial purposes for a certain period of time in exchange of said amount money to be paid to the property owner.

Have a glimpse at some of the important points that requires due consideration before being signed.

- It is important to ensure that the agreement has the provision to penalize the property owner if the leaser is not allowed to take the possession of the property on the due date.Both the parties should have one original copy each of the signed agreement for their own personal record and reference.
- It is also necessary to ensure that the lease agreement is properly dated.
