Commercial leasing continues to present a range of challenges and opportunities for landlords, tenants, and their advisers. In an evolving market, careful due diligence and a thorough understanding of lease terms are essential to identifying risks, managing obligations, and achieving successful leasing outcomes. This session takes a practical, landlord-and-tenant perspective on the due diligence issues that recur on commercial leasing transactions – including agreements to lease and suitability for purpose, rent reviews and ratchet mechanisms, renewals, and ongoing lease management.
Drawing on real examples from recent market experience, the presenters will offer practical insights into where landlord and tenant issues align, where they diverge, and how advisers on both sides can manage these issues before they become disputes.
