Document background
A Simple Commercial Lease is designed for straightforward commercial property lettings in England and Wales, particularly suitable for small to medium-sized businesses and private landlords. This document type is commonly used when parties require a clear, uncomplicated agreement without the extensive provisions typically found in institutional leases. It covers essential elements such as rent, repair obligations, insurance, and permitted use, while remaining compliant with key legislation including the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. The document is particularly useful for shorter-term lettings or where the commercial relationship is relatively straightforward.
