This is module 3 of our 4-module commercial leasing course.

Why Attend?

A tenant always ends up with the lease they negotiate, which is not necessarily the lease they need. The pandemic was just one example of full rental obligations continuing, notwithstanding impaired utility. Giving more attention to defining a tenant-friendly lease and ensuring the negotiation approach delivers the best possible tenant outcome. By attending, you will be better placed to negotiate tenant-friendly lease terms that help to future-proof your organisation.

This is module 4 of our 4-module commercial leasing course.

Why Attend?

When the ‘ink is dry’ the terms are set, and the landlord and the tenant are legally bound to the lease terms. An excellent way of ensuring your lease terms support your organisation’s objectives into the future is to learn from the mistakes of others. This module highlights common lease negotiation mistakes that have harmed tenants, with guidance for avoiding such mistakes. Attendees will be better placed to negotiate tenant-friendly lease terms that help to future-proof organisations.

Market rent reviews can become a major turning point in a commercial lease - either reinforcing long-term value for your business or introducing unnecessary financial and operational risk. For tenants and occupiers, understanding your rights, obligations, and negotiation position is critical.
