What is the difference between the standard and comprehensive agreements?
- The standard version of the commercial lease contains all the vital terms for creating a legally binding contract but does not give the option for revising the standard clauses. Most customers choose this option.
- In contrast, the comprehensive version is a highly detailed and customizable lease agreement designed for those who need more control over the wording of the contract.

Guarantor

Guarantor Details

Address

Help and Support

What is a guarantor?
A guarantor agrees to pay the landlord directly for any losses should the tenant fail to pay rent or otherwise breach the lease agreement.
What is a Personal Guarantee?
- A Personal Guarantee is a legally binding promise made by an individual to personally repay any debts the tenant defaults on.
- we offer a Personal Guarantee form which can be completed after you have finished your Commercial Lease.
What is an Indemnity Agreement?
- An Indemnity Agreement is a separate contract where the guarantor agrees to protect the landlord against future losses if the tenant defaults.
-We offer an Indemnity Agreement form which can be completed after you have finished your Commercial Lease.
What is the difference between a guarantee and an indemnity?
- The liability of the guarantor is no more nor less than the liability of the person being guaranteed and only becomes effective once that person has failed in his obligations. So there is a need to look first to that person. There can be certain formalities such as being in writing for a guarantee to be enforceable.
- An indemnity provides that the indemnifier will not lose money on the deal in question. There is no need to “look first” to anyone else to make good the debt or obligation. The landlord will always prefer an indemnity over a guarantee.

Leased Property

5.1 Address

Help and Support

When should I include additional details about the property?
Generally, it is not legally necessary to describe the property using more than the property address. However, providing additional details can reduce the potential for disputes by further clarifying the boundaries of the property.
What is a legal description?
- The legal description refers to how the property is identified in a real estate transaction.
- You can find this description in the deed, mortgage, or other purchase document. You can also obtain the legal description from a county recorder, land titles office, tax assessor, or other similar official.

Permitted Use

Parking

Help and Support

Why is it important to describe the permitted use?
Describing the permitted use helps prevent disputes and confusion over what is considered acceptable use of the property. It also allows the landlord to maintain a proper mix of businesses.
Who is considered a direct competitor?
A direct competitor is someone who operates as its principal business a similar permitted use of the property that the tenant has received permission for.

The different types of lease terms : Fixed End Date??
A lease with a fixed end date gives certainty of term for both the landlord and the tenant. It specifies the exact day the tenancy will end. The advantage here is that neither party has to give notice to terminate the lease, it simply ends on the specified date. In a fixed end date lease, the landlord cannot increase the rent, or change any other terms of the lease unless they specifically reserve the right in the lease, and the tenant agrees to the changes. If the tenant remains past the specified date the landlord can either: (a) accept rental payments and have the lease continue as a month-to-month tenancy with the same rules as the expired fixed end date lease; (b) sign a new lease; or (c) start eviction proceedings against the tenant.
The different types of lease terms: Periodic/Automatic Renewal (no set end date)?
A periodic tenancy (a weekly/monthly/yearly lease with automatic renewal) will continue until one of the parties terminates the lease. To terminate the lease, the landlord or tenant must give notice of their intention to terminate as specified by statute. A landlord can usually raise the rent, or change the terms of the lease in these types of agreements by providing proper notice as required by statute. At the end of the notice period the tenant must move out or the landlord can start eviction proceedings against the tenant
What is an automatically renewing lease?
An automatically renewing lease will renew after each rental period until one party chooses to end the lease by giving written notice.
What is early possession and why is it used?
A tenant might be given possession of the property before the lease start date where the tenant needs to perform leasehold improvements.

Rent Details

You must have selected to further describe the property. You must have selected yes to "Specify the square footage?" and you must have entered an area greater than zero.

What is prepaid rent?
- Prepaid rent is a rent payment (or payments) made to the landlord at the outset of the lease, which the landlord holds as security for the applicable rent payments.

What is a security deposit?
- A security deposit is a refundable sum of money the tenant pays to the landlord in order to guarantee their lease obligations will be fulfilled.
- The landlord may use the deposit to cover damage caused by the tenant (normal wear and tear excluded) or failure to pay rent.
What is an inspection report?
An inspection report is a written record of the condition of the property at the time the tenant takes possession. When a second inspection report is used at the end of the lease, it is used as a comparison tool to determine if the tenant caused any damage during the lease period.
