Document background
The Independent Contractor Lease Agreement is designed for situations where self-employed professionals or independent contractors require commercial space for their business operations in Canada. This document is particularly useful when there's a need to clearly establish both the leasing relationship and the independent contractor status of the tenant. It's commonly used in professional office settings, retail locations, or specialized service facilities where the tenant operates as an independent business entity rather than an employee. The agreement incorporates provisions from Canadian commercial tenancy laws and independent contractor regulations, ensuring proper classification of the business relationship while addressing standard commercial lease requirements such as rent, maintenance, insurance, and property use restrictions. This document helps protect both parties' interests by clearly defining their rights, obligations, and the independent nature of their business relationship.
