Simple Commercial Lease Agreement
A commercial lease agreement is a contract that grants a business tenant the right to occupy and use a landlord's property for business purposes in exchange for rent. Use this when you're leasing out (or leasing) a small commercial space — an office, studio, or storefront — and want clear terms on rent, deposit, and who's responsible for what.
