General commercial leases are governed by the common law. These are essentially contracts between two parties, who are free to enter into an agreement they want. However, some important statutes govern these contracts, such as the Commonwealth Australian Competition and Consumer Law Act 2012, which regulates deceptive and deceptive behaviour and other prohibited business practices, and Part 8 of the Queensland Property Law Act 1974. In Queensland, all commercial leases are regulated by law. The law provides for minimum standards that must be met. Commercial leases in Queensland can be categorized into retail leasing and retail leasing. Retail leasing is essentially a leasing by which goods and services are sold to the end consumer, for example. B a hairdresser or a grocery store. Leasing contracts (a) in the retail trade include warehouses, merchants and manufacturers that are engaged in commercial activity but are not in the retail trade because they do not sell directly to the end consumer. Similarly, parking or storage space is not considered retail rents and offices are not generally provided.
Landlords – are required to submit a statement of disclosure of the lease to the tenant. This document must contain summary information on the proposed lease. The lessor must communicate this statement to the tenant at least seven days before the conclusion of the commercial lease. If the landlord does not, the tenant can terminate the tenancy agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, commercial tenants are generally required to maintain the premises for good repair. These obligations relate to the cleaning of premises, repairing or replacing devices and fittings, and ensuring the repair of service and service infrastructure (tubes, wiring), unless the lease attaches this obligation to the lessor. Your obligations under the lease apply regardless of whether damage is covered by insurance. As a general rule, tenants are responsible for returning the premises to the state they were in prior to the damage.
