NSW Commercial Leasing Legal Services For Landlords
We’re your caring property law partners offering personalised commercial leasing services and legal support for landlords.
Receive practical advice for leasing success and stay informed at every stage along the way.
In NSW, the lease of commercial or retail premises requires the Landlord (you) and the Tenant to enter into a lease that sets out each party’s rights and responsibilities.
As a part of our client-first approach, our team of dedicated and experienced property lawyers and conveyancers will invest the time to walk you through your rights and responsibilities under the Lease agreement to keep you fully informed.
At Sarah Walsh, we combine all the knowledge and skills of a large legal firm with the personalised service you deserve. We take the time to understand your unique interests as a landlord and work to ensure that they are protected along the way.

The NSW leasing Process (For Landlords)
Here is your commercial leasing journey and how we support you throughout, from interested to leased.

Get Ready
Once you've decided that you're ready to lease your vacant commercial property to a tenant, it's time to engage our team to help review lease agreements and advise you on any legal implications.

Legal Compliance
Our team will help you understand and comply with all legal requirements for landlords, including tenancy laws and safety regulations, as you prepare your property for leasing.

Negotiate
As you advertise your property and screen prospective tenants, we will help you negotiate lease terms, including rent, duration and any special conditions, with selected tenants.

Ongoing Compliance
At this point, procedures for rent collection will be established, and we will continue to keep you informed about changes in tenancy laws and regulations to ensure ongoing compliance for the life of the lease.

Sign
Our team will draft a comprehensive lease agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the tenancy, based on negotiations, legal regulations and your interests. Once both parties are happy, you will sign the lease agreement with the selected tenant.
