The Legal Risk Score of a Commercial Lease Agreement (General) (VIC) Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document places significant financial responsibilities on the lessee, including payments for rent, shared expenses, and various outgoings, which could increase over time due to adjustments based on factors like the Consumer Price Index or other lessor-determined estimates.
- The lessee is required to maintain and repair the leased premises, which includes responsibilities for damages and regular upkeep, potentially leading to unexpected costs if the premises require more maintenance than anticipated.
- The lessee faces restrictions on transferring or subletting the lease without the lessor’s consent, which could limit flexibility in business operations or exit strategies.
