Commercial lease contracts are governed by the common law (also known as case law) and the Commercial Tenancy Act of British Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>The Commercial Tenancy Act is the legislation that explains the rights of landlords and tenants in British Columbia. However, it is not exhaustive. Therefore, there are aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship that the Commercial Tenancy Act does not control and regulate. Those aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship will be based on the Commercial Lease Agreement that has been signed between the landlord and the tenant.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally in BC, commercial lease agreements have terms of at least 3 years and give the tenant the right to renew the lease for further periods. The long-term nature of these contracts as well as the relatively large amounts of money involved mean that if there are mistakes or problems with the contract, the landlord and the tenant may have to pay high costs, suffer losses, and engage in court actions to resolve the dispute.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-105bb86d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"105bb86d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Terms in a Commercial Lease Agreement\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e622505 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"e622505\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47c04f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"47c04f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Commercial leases involved high sums of money and long-term obligations for both the landlord and the tenant.

It is important to know whether the parties to the contract are individuals, corporations, or partnerships. If the tenant is a corporation, the landlord\u2019s commercial lease lawyer will investigate the company and advise the landlord whether a covenantor or guarantor is required to protect the landlord\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>A covenantor is a real individual (as opposed to a company, which is a legal individual but not a real individual) that agrees to guarantee the corporation\u2019s obligations under the commercial lease. Subsequently, if the corporation fails to follow the terms of the lease and is also poor enough that a legal action against it would be pointless, the landlord would sill have the option of suing the covenantor.<\/p>\n<p>The tenant\u2019s lawyer will be responsible for investigating the landlord to ensure that the landlord owns the commercial property and is entitled to enter into a legal agreement to rent it. The lawyer may also investigate the zoning of the subject property to advise the tenants about whether they will be able to do business on that property.<\/p>\n<p>If the parties to the lease agreement are not determined and set out correctly, the landlord or the tenant might suffer significant losses because they have entered into an agreement and paid money but cannot enforce that agreement in court. Therefore, this step is one of the most important steps in drafting a commercial lease agreement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fa1d66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0fa1d66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Definitions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61b4d243 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"61b4d243\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed22e9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed22e9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A lease agreement is long and includes many complicated legal ideas.

For business owners and property landlords alike, a clear and well-structured written lease helps prevent misunderstandings, protects enforceability, and minimizes the risk of future disputes, mediation, arbitration, or litigation under applicable acts such as commercial tenancy legislation in Canada. Pax Law Corporation supports both tenants and landlords throughout lease negotiation, clause review, rent structure, deposits, renewals, and compliance considerations.
