Commercial Lease — Whole Property — Guide

A commercial lease for a whole property in Ireland sets the terms on which a business rents an entire building or unit. This Commercial Lease — Whole Property is a self-complete document for use in Ireland. Key terms include rent, rent review, repairs, insurance, use and assignment, and some tenants may acquire statutory renewal rights unless they validly waive them.

This is a digital, self-complete document from our Digital Legal Documents range: you download an editable document with guidance notes and complete it yourself. It does not include review of your completed document or advice from a solicitor. If you would like a solicitor to review or draft the document for you, find one through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Before you rely on a self-complete document, check that it fits your situation. Read the completion notes carefully, fill in every section that applies, remove anything that does not, and keep a signed copy with your records. If your circumstances are unusual, or a lot depends on the document, it is worth having it reviewed. Keep the completed document somewhere safe, and review it whenever your circumstances change so that it stays accurate.
