If you need to rent a property or building for business purposes, you’ll need to draft a commercial lease. This agreement outlines important aspects of the relationship between the lessor and tenant, such as repairs and maintenance, insurance, and deposits.
On ContractsCounsel, an online legal network connecting lawyers and clients, you can purchase a commercial lease template that’s drafted by a lawyer on the platform. It’s clear, comprehensive, and legal.
In this article, we feature important things to know about this commercial lease template, what’s included in it, how to fill it out, and why you should purchase it from ContractsCounsel.
What Does a Commercial Lease Template Contain?
This commercial lease template covers important aspects, such as the following:
Term and Rent
The template contains information about how many years the rental property can be used by the tenant, including start and end dates. It also includes the amount payable per month.
Option to Renew
This outlines the process for the tenant to renew the lease and how this influences the monthly rental amount. The tenant needs to give the owner a specific amount of days’ written notice, or this option will lapse.
Use
The tenant needs to specify why they are using the rental property, such as for running a hair salon. This prevents the space from being used for other reasons.
Maintenance
It’s the tenant’s responsibility to maintain the property and complete required repairs, but there are important exceptions both parties need to know about. For example, the lessor is responsible for the roof, structural foundation, and exterior walls.
Trade Fixtures
All equipment and trade fixtures on the property are the lessor’s property, so they can’t be removed by the tenant.
Utilities
Since the tenant is using the commercial property, they will be responsible for all utility services. Their name will be on all applications and connections for these services to be established.
Remedies on Default
Should the tenant default on rent payments, they will receive a notice to rectify it within a certain amount of days. If they do not fulfill this, the lessor has the right to terminate the lease. If they choose this option, the lessor has the right to claim unpaid rent and/or other compensation from the tenant.
How to Fill out a Commercial Lease Template
You can easily complete the commercial lease template in seven steps.
- Step 1: Insert the names and addresses of both parties. Step 2: Write the start and end dates for the lease agreement, its duration (in years), and the annual rental amount.
- Step 3: For lease renewal, specify for how many months this will take effect, the monthly rental amount, and how many days’ written notice should be given before the lease term expires. Step 4: Write a short description of what the commercial property will be used for.
- Step 5: Write the minimum insurance coverage the tenant will maintain.
- Step 6: Select the amount of days the tenant has to remedy any defaults, such as by paying late rent.
- Step 7: For the security deposit, insert the amount that will be paid by the tenant.

"I hired this attorney to review and finalise online policy documents for a new SaaS platform service. The service I received is truly outstanding, responsive, and strongly focused on details. He knew from a technology perspective exactly what needed to be in-scope whilst progressing through discovery of our platform architecture. An unusual strong value was his demonstrated technical understanding of SaaS platform architecture and seemingly hands-on working knowledge of AWS services, configuration and management. A very important decision driver to hiring him was his fixed price to finish the job. This has been my experience and I am confident this experience is repeatable. Ich habe diesen Anwalt beauftragt, die Online-Richtliniendokumente für einen neuen SaaS-Plattformdienst zu prüfen und fertigzustellen. Der Service, den ich erhalten habe, war wirklich hervorragend, reaktionsschnell und äusserst detailorientiert. Aus technologischer Sicht wusste er genau, was in den Aufgabenumfang fallen musste, während er sich mit der Architektur unserer Plattform vertraut machte. Ein aussergewöhnlich grosser Mehrwert war sein nachweisliches technisches Verständnis der SaaS-Plattformarchitektur und sein offenbar praxisnahes Fachwissen über AWS-Dienste, deren Konfiguration und Verwaltung. Ein sehr wichtiger Entscheidungsgrund für die Beauftragung war sein Festpreis für die Fertigstellung des Auftrags. Das war meine Erfahrung, und ich bin überzeugt, dass sich diese Erfahrung wiederholen lässt."
