About this workshop lease

This comprehensive lease is for letting a stand-alone workshop, factory, warehouse or light industrial unit which does not share services with any other unit. The building could be used for anything: from a car repair garage to a machining workshop to an aircraft hangar.

This is a professionally drawn, very comprehensive lease with massive legal protection for the landlord including a long menu of “do’s” and “don’ts”.

This lease is not a compromise between the interests of the parties. It prefers the Landlords interest. We think that is the best start point. If you wish to make concessions to your tenant, that is fine, but we want you have those choices.

It includes service charge provisions to provide 100% recovery of service costs.

If you are letting for more than three years, you will need to register your completed lease. The address of the office is below. The staff at the registration office are helpful and the process is simple. You can do that yourself too.

However, the tenant must have taken legal advice from a solicitor. That is no reason why you should pay a solicitor $5,000 too. However, if you are concerned, you can still take your Net Lawman lease to your solicitor for advice in any area that worries you. We do not claim to replace solicitors but merely to empower you to do what legal you can do personally.

Similar lease agreements

There is no provision for service charge recovery in this document. If you need this, perhaps because the unit shares services with others or is part of an industrial estate, see Business lease: unit on industrial park.

If the property will be used as offices, Self contained office lease agreement may be more appropriate.

If the property is mainly land, with plant or buildings, Business lease: land, either vacant or with plant or buildings may be more appropriate.

Key features

Plain English is used throughout except where it is necessary to use legal terms common in this field of law.

The key features of this template can be summarised as:

  • standard guarantor
  • options for transfer or assignment to another party
  • sub-letting forbidden
  • option to include a break clause for premature termination by the tenant
  • a choice of options for rent reviews

This document has been drawn so as to make it applicable to the vast majority of leasing scenarios without making it difficult to edit.

Most commercial leases are governed by property laws which are similar from one state to another. The exception is retail leases, which are subject to state/territory retail lease law,

The document provided a good breadth of potential issues without being weighed down in legal jargon. It was easy to explain to users/business owners what each of the terms related to, and to eliminate those which did not apply.

A comprehensive document with clear supporting notes and broad scope for editing. The document includes a provision for excluding security of tenure which was of particular use to me given that my lease was for a Garage only. The team at Net Lawman are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They took the time to answer all my questions and the review service was invaluable to me. Highly recommend, not only for the quality of documents but also for the quality of Service and support.
