Commercial Lease Agreement

← All tools

Lease retail, office or industrial space the right way. PaperKit drafts a full commercial lease — premises & permitted use, term, base rent + escalations, security deposit and default remedies. Pick the lease type — gross, modified-gross, triple-net (NNN) or percentage — and it wires in the matching operating-expense structure (CAM, real-property taxes & insurance pass-throughs for NNN; percentage rent on gross sales for retail). Optional personal guaranty. Hosted online for the business tenant to e-sign & accept. Clean PDF.
