Commercial Lease

Full commercial lease agreement for office, retail, or industrial space. Covers use restrictions, maintenance, CAM charges, and tenant improvements.

Why you need one

Commercial-grade protection

Residential leases don't cover commercial concerns like CAM charges, tenant improvements, or use restrictions.

CAM & expense allocation

Defines who pays for common area maintenance, insurance, and taxes — often the biggest surprise for tenants.

Use restrictions

Specifies what the space can and cannot be used for — critical for zoning compliance.

Tenant improvement rights

Documents what improvements you can make, who pays, and who owns them at lease end.
