About this workshop lease
This is a comprehensive and easy to use short term lease for letting a workshop, factory, warehouse or other light industrial unit. The property should be self-contained, that is, it shouldn't share services or facilities with other properties owned by the same landlord. This agreement could be used for a range of different properties, from a car repair garage to a machining workshop to an aircraft hangar.
The document has been drawn to help protect the landlord's interests as greatly as possible.
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 forming a small business park, see Business lease: unit on industrial park.
- If the property will be used as offices, 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:
- term of 5 years or under (often called a short term lease)
- 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.

In balancing the codes with the law and the interest of the Landlord, we have followed the codes where reasonable, but have preferred the interest of the Landlord where there may be a difference.
