Simple business property lease with no extras, suitable only
for short term occupation of low value property
About this document
Like all leases, this lease agreement has been drawn primarily to protect the interest of the landlord. It is for a tenant to challenge those paragraphs which may not suit the circumstances.
This short business lease has been drawn for any business letting for a short term where the strength of protection required by the landlord is not a prime consideration and a short and simple lease is all that is required. This lease contains no break clause, no guarantor and no rent review. Some other provisions have been reduced in effect. If you are dealing at arms length with an unknown person, we recommend that you use our more comprehensive version, linked at the end of this page.
A note on new leases: To set up a new commercial lease and exclude security of tenure under the 2004 Regulations, you will need a number of forms excluding security of tenure. We provide these forms in a simple pack with full guidance notes. Linked on the right hand side of this page.
Use this lease agreement to protect your interests.
