  • Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

     6.1  If the commencing date of the new lease is a rent review date, the
          rent payable under the new lease must be set as follows:

          *    if the commencing date is a market rent review date, the rent
               payable under the new lease is set under clauses 11 and 12;

          *    if the commencing date is a market review date and the Landlord
               does not set the rent using the market rent review procedure, the
               rent payable for the first year of the new lease is the rent
               payable during the last year of this lease;

     6.2  If the commencing date of the new lease is not a rent review date, the
          rent payable for the first year of the new lease is the same as the
          rent payable during the last year of this lease.

WHAT MUST THE TENANT PAY?

7.   WHAT THE TENANT HAS TO PAY

     7.1  The Tenant must pay to the Landlord:

          *    the rent in item 9; and

          *    the charges for services supplied to the premises (see clause
               13); and

          *    any other money owed under this lease.

8.   INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS

     8.1  If the Tenant does not pay any money to the Landlord within 7 days of
          the time it is due, the Landlord may charge daily interest on that
          money at a rate equal to the rate fixed under the Penalty Interest
          Rates Act 1983 plus 2%.

     8.2  The Landlord may calculate the interest on any unpaid money from the
          day the unpaid money was due until the day it is paid.

     8.3  On the last day of each month, the Landlord may add the interest for
          that month to the unpaid money, and charge interest on the total
          amount.

9.   ADJUSTMENTS AND ERRORS

     9.1  If the Landlord has to calculate the money the Tenant owes by using a
          time period, and this lease starts or ends during that time period,
          the Landlord must make the necessary proportional adjustment.

     9.2  If either the Tenant or the Landlord prove an error in any
          calculation, the Landlord must correct it and make any necessary
          adjustment in the Tenant's next monthly statement (or as soon as
          possible if this lease has expired).

HOW MUCH RENT MUST THE TENANT PAY?

10.  HOW MUST THE TENANT PAY RENT?

     10.1  The Tenant must pay the rent:

           *   in equal monthly instalments; and

           *   in advance; and

           *   on or before the first day of each month.

11.  MARKET RENT REVIEWS

     11.1  If item 10 allows a market rent review, the Landlord may give the
           Tenant notice of the new rent based on the current market rent at the
           market rent review date in item 11. The Landlord must give the notice
           during the period from 90 days before to 90 days after each market
           rent review date.

     11.2  The Tenant must pay the Landlord the new rent from the market rent
           review date.

     11.3  Until the Landlord notifies the Tenant of the new rent, the Tenant
           must pay the current rent to the Landlord.

     11.4  Any necessary adjustment between the rent the Tenant has paid and the
           rent the Tenant should have paid is calculated from the market rent
           review date.

     11.5  If the Landlord is late in giving the Tenant notice, the Landlord
           does not lose the right to a rent review. But, if the rent is
           increased, the adjustment is only calculated from the day the
           Landlord gave notice to the Tenant.

12.  MARKET RENT REVIEW DISPUTES

     12.1  If the Tenant disputes the rent nominated by the Landlord under
           clause 11, the procedure in clause 12.2 must be followed. Each time
           limit set out in clause 12.2 is consecutive. If a time limit is not
           kept, the right attached is lost.

     12.2  This is the procedure for rent review disputes.

           *   If the Tenant disputes the new rent, the Tenant must give the
               Landlord notice of the dispute within 30 days of receiving the
               Landlord's notice about the new rent.

           *   The Tenant and the Landlord must negotiate in good faith to agree
               on a new rent within 30 days of the date of the Tenant's notice
               of dispute.

           *   If the Tenant and the Landlord agree, the Tenant must pay the new
               agreed rent from the market rent review date.

           *   If the Tenant and the Landlord to not agree, then within 7 days
               either the Tenant or the Landlord may ask the President of the
               Australian Institute of Valuers and Land Economists Inc -
               Victorian Division (or an equivalent organisation) ("AIVLE") to
               appoint an independent valuer to decide the new rent.

           *   The independent valuer must decide the current market rent at the
               market rent review date within 30 days of being appointed.
<PAGE>

                                       6

     12.3  Until a dispute is resolved, or a right is lost, the Tenant must pay
           the current rent. Any adjustment must be calculated from the relevant
           date in clause 11. The Tenant must pay any adjustment (or the
           Landlord must credit the Tenant with any adjustment) when the
           Tenant's next monthly payment is due.

     12.4  The valuation of the rent must take into account the following
           factors:

           *   the use of the premises; and

           *   any inducement or incentive or both (for example: allowances,
               payments, benefits, rent free periods, discounted rent periods,
               assuming a liability) given by the Landlord to the Tenant, or a
               person associated with the Tenant, for the Tenant entering into
               this lease; and

           *   the fair market rent that can be obtained for the premises; and

           *   the provisions of this lease; and

           *   the rent payable for space comparable to the premises; and

           *   the basis for the determination is as follows:

               -    the premises are vacant and available for leasing by a
                    willing landlord to a willing tenant; and

               -    the Tenant is not in breach of this lease; and

           *   the requirements specified in Section 12(5) Retail Tenancies
               Reform Act 1998.

     12.5  But the valuation of the rent must not take into account the
           following factors:

           *   the value of the Tenant's property; and

           *   any goodwill attributable to the premises due to the Tenant's
               business; and

           *   any part of the fit-out that the Tenant may remove.

     12.6  The independent valuer must have the following qualifications:

           *   current membership of the AIVLE; and

           *   at least five (5) years experience in valuing office space in the
               Melbourne CBD.

     12.7  In deciding the dispute, the independent valuer must act as an
           independent expert and not as an arbitrator and must give written
           reasons for the decision. The decision is final and binding on the
           parties.

     12.8  The Landlord and Tenant must share the cost of appointing the
           independent valuer equally.

WHAT OTHER MONEY MUST THE TENANT PAY?

13.  SERVICES

     13.1  The Tenant must pay on time for all services supplied to the premises
           including water consumption, electricity, gas, telephone, on floor

           routine service calls requested by the Tenant).
<PAGE>

                                       7

     13.2  The premises are supplied with a self contained airconditioning
           system and the Tenant is responsible for the cost of operating and
           using the system (including non routine service calls requested by
           the Tenant).

     13.3  The Tenant is responsible for the cost of the activation and
           maintenance of the electronic security devices servicing the
           premises.

14.  TENANT MUST PAY INCREASES IN RATES AND TAXES AND BUILDING OUTGOINGS

     14.1  The Tenant must pay to the Landlord the Tenant's share of increases
           in rates taxes or building outgoings assessed or levied on the
           Building occurring after the commencing date.

     14.2  If a new rate or tax or outgoings (that is, one that does not exist
           at the commencing date) is assessed or levied on the Building, the
           Tenant must pay to the Landlord the Tenant's share of the new rate or
           tax or outgoings.

     14.3  The Landlord must calculate the Tenant's share of the new rate tax or
           outgoings or increases in rates taxes or outgoings using this
           formula:

                                  $ = N x P/B

           where,

           $   is the amount of the Tenant's share;

           N   is:

               (i)  the amount of the new rate; and/or

               (ii) the difference between annual amount of the rates taxes and
                    outgoings levied or assessed on the Building from year to
                    year and the amount payable for the base year ending 31
                    December 1998.

           P   is the lettable area of the Premises; and

           B   is the net lettable area of the Building.

           The lettable areas are calculated according to the Building Owners
           and Managers Association Method of Measurement (1989 revision) or any
           equivalent that the Landlord consents to. If the net lettable area
           changes, the Landlord must adjust the Tenant's share proportionally.

     14.4  The Landlord must tell the Tenant by notice of the amount payable.
           The Tenant must pay this amount within 7 days of the date of the
           Landlord's notice.

15.  LANDLORD'S LEGAL AND OTHER COSTS

     15.1  The Tenant must pay:

           *   the Landlord's costs permitted by the Retail Tenancies Reform Act
               1998 arising out of this lease and any other transaction arising
               out of this lease (for example: assignment, subletting); and

           *   stamp duty on this lease or any other document arising out of
               this lease; and

           *   the Landlord's reasonable legal and other costs arising out of
               the Tenant's breach of this lease (for example, preparing a
               notice of breach (see clause 43), remedying the breach (see
               clauses 43 and 44)); and

           *   the Landlord's reasonable costs of considering the Tenant's
               request for the Landlord's consent [for example, the cost of
               employing consultants to review the Tenant's plans or altering
               the premises (see clause 25), the cost of investigating the
               financial position of a proposed assignee (see clause 20)]; and

           *   cost of additional keys and any security passes requested by the
               Tenant; and

           *   cost of basic plumbing repairs; and

           loss due to the Tenant's breach (see clause 44). The Tenant must
           promptly replace any amount used.

     16.3  If the rent increases, the amount of the security deposit increases
           in the same proportion. The Tenant must give the extra amount for the
           security deposit to the Landlord by bank cheque or by increasing the
           unconditional bank guarantee within 14 days of any rent increase.

     16.4  When this lease ends and the Tenant has vacated the premises, the
           Landlord must promptly refund to the Tenant any part of the security
           deposit not needed to recover the Landlord's loss.

               obligations;

           *   the Tenant does anything that the Landlord reasonable requires
               concerning the dealing (for example: giving the Landlord a

           *   the Tenant and the new person sign any agreement (for example:
               deed of consent) or give any security (for example: personal

               reasonably requires; and

           *   the Tenant is not in breach of this lease.

     30.1  The Landlord must allow the Tenant to occupy and use the premises
           without interruption or disruption, except where this lease allows

32.  SERVICES

           Landlord must do all the Landlord reasonably can to ensure that the
           services are working efficiently during the hours the Building is
           open. However, the Landlord is not liable for any compensation and
           the Tenant cannot end this lease if the Landlord does not do so.

33.  THE LANDLORD MAY ENTER THE PREMISES

     33.1  After giving at least 2 working days notice, the Landlord may enter
           the premises at any reasonable time:

           *   for inspection;

           *   to carry out maintenance, repairs, or building work;

           *   to show the premises to prospective tenants or to allow
               prospective buyers of the premises or the Building to inspect the

34.  THE LANDLORD MAY DO THINGS ON THE TENANT'S BEHALF

           receiving a notice of breach (for example: if the Tenant does not do
           repairs). The Tenant must promptly reimburse the Landlord's costs of
           doing this.

                                      13

35.  LANDLORD'S CONSENT

     35.1  If the Landlord's consent is required, the Landlord must consider the
           request promptly, and must be fair and reasonable in giving or
           withholding it. The Landlord may also require the Tenant to obey any
           reasonable conditions before the Landlord gives the Landlord's
           consent.

     35.2  The Landlord can refuse to give the Landlord's consent for any reason
           if it concerns structural building work to the premises.

36.  RELETTING OF PREMISES OR SALE OF BUILDING

           premises or the Building.

           Building, except where this lease allows the Landlord to do so (see
           clause 33), or the law requires it.

38.  WHEN THE LANDLORD DOES REPAIRS OR BUILDING WORK

     38.1  The Landlord must give the Tenant at least 24 hours notice of any
           repairs, maintenance or building work in the premises that the
           Landlord wants to do. The Landlord must act reasonably if this work
           disrupts the Tenant's use of the premises.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BUILDING OR PREMISES ARE DAMAGED, DESTROYED OR RESUMED?

39.  IF DAMAGED OR DESTROYED

     39.1  If the premises or the Building or both are damaged or destroyed, and
           as a result the Tenant cannot use or have access to the premises,
           then the Tenant may ask the Landlord to re-build either or both of
           them.

     39.2  The Landlord may give a notice to the Tenant ("the Rebuilding
           Notice") within 90 days of the Tenant's request stating whether the
           Landlord intends to rebuild.

     39.3  If the Landlord does not give the Rebuilding Notice on time, or if
           the Landlord decides not to rebuild, the Landlord or the Tenant may
           end this lease by notice to the other. This lease ends on the date of
           the notice.

     39.4  But the Tenant cannot end this lease and must continue to pay the
           full rent and other money payable under this lease up to the expiry
           date if the Tenant caused or substantially contributed to the damage
           or destruction.

     39.5  The Landlord is not liable to pay the Tenant compensation. But if the
           Tenant did not cause or substantially contribute to the damage or
           destruction, the Landlord must reduce the Tenant's rent (and other
           money payable) by a reasonable amount from the date of the damage or
           destruction. The amount of the reduction depends on the type and
           extent of the damage or destruction, and applies until the premises
           are again fit for use or this lease is ended.

IF RESUMED

     40.1  If a competent authority resumes the premises or the Building, and
           this makes the premises unfit for the Tenant's use, then the Landlord
           or the Tenant may end this lease by notice to the other. The Landlord
           is not liable to pay the Tenant any compensation in these
           circumstances.

1.   RESOLVING DISPUTES ABOUT REDUCTION IN RENT AND OTHER MONEY PAYABLE

     41.1  If the Landlord and the Tenant dispute the amount of a reduction in
           rent (and any other money payable), the procedure in clause 41.2 must
           be followed. Each time limit is consecutive. If a time limit is not
           kept the right attached is lost.

     41.2  This is the procedure for disputes about reducing the money payable
           under this lease.

           *   If the Tenant contends that the money payable should be reduced
               but the Landlord does not agree or the Landlord or the Tenant do
               not agree the reduced amount, the Tenant must give the Landlord
               notice of the dispute.

           *   The Tenant and the Landlord must negotiate in good faith to agree
               on a new amount within 30 days of the date of the Tenant's
               notice.

           *   If the Tenant and the Landlord agree, the Tenant must pay the
               agreed reduced amount from the agreed date.

           *   If the Tenant and the Landlord do not agree then within 7 days
               either the Tenant or the Landlord may ask the President of the
               Australian Institute of Valuers and Land Economists Inc.
               Victorian Division (or an equivalent organisation) "AIVLE") to
               appoint an independent valuer to decide the reduced amount.

           *   The independent valuer must decide the reduced amount within 30
               days of being appointed.

     41.3  Until a dispute is resolved, the Tenant must pay the current rent
           (and other money payable). Any adjustment must be calculated from the
           appropriate date. The Landlord must refund the amount of any
           adjustment within 7 days of the decision.

     41.4  The independent valuer must have the following qualifications:

           *   current membership of the AIVLE; and

           *   at least 5 years experience in valuing office space in the
               Melbourne CBD.

     41.5  In deciding the dispute, the independent valuer must act as an
           independent expert and not as an arbitrator and must give written
           reasons for the decision. The decision if final and binding on the
           parties.

     41.6  The Landlord and the Tenant must share the cost of appointing the
           independent valuer equally.
