A Commercial Sublease Agreement is a legal agreement that allows commercial tenants to sublease the whole or part of their leased premises to another party. The agreement governs the relationship between the existing tenant, the incoming subtenant, and the head landlord.

A Commercial Sublease Agreement typically addresses issues like the consent of the head landlord, payment of rent, lease expiration, security deposit and more important terms for your sublease arrangement.

As part of this fixed-fee package for Commercial Sublease Agreements, our lawyers will draft a Commercial Sublease Agreement to meet your unique requirements. In addition, we’ll provide a high level review of the relevant provisions in the Head Lease.

You’ll also receive phone consultations with your NZ legal lawyer, who’ll take your instructions, advise you on your legal rights and obligations, and answer any questions you have. Plus, you’ll get a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide to you.

Please note that this package does not include registration of the lease, tax advice, or any direct negotiations or correspondence with the landlord or their lawyers. This scope also assumes that the transaction does not involve any employment or other compliance issues.

Our Commercial Sublease Agreement package starts from $1800 + GST.

This price includes drafting a custom Commercial Sublease Agreement for your business, a high level review of the relevant provisions in the Head Lease, and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide to you.
