A commercial lease is used when leasing property used primarily for a business. In Western Australia, many commercial leases are regulated by the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreement Act (WA) 1985. That act regulates retail lease arrangements between landlords and tenants and outlines some of their rights and responsibilities in relation to leases. The act sets out extensive disclosure requirements for landlords, establishes a consistent and fair process for rent reviews and enhances security of tenure for tenants.
