As a commercial tenant who is considered Retail, and therefore has the protections of the Retail Leases Act 2003, a landlord must provide the tenant with various documents outlining outgoings (estimates and actual) at various points over the term of the lease.

The tenant under a retail premises lease is not liable to pay outgoings except where they are detailed in the lease. The landlord must give the tenant a written estimate of the outgoings for which the tenant is expected to pay under the lease. This must be done before the lease is entered into, and at least one month before the start of each of the landlord’s accounting periods during the term of the lease (i.e. each year). The tenant is not required to pay for outgoings if an estimate has not been given.

To find more information about Outgoings, please visit the VSBC website 👉🏼 https://www.vsbc.vic.gov.au/your-rights-and-responsibilities/outgoings-other-charges-under-a-lease/

Are you a commercial property owner?

When taking over management of a property, here at AndersonDrake, it is essential for us to first conduct a comprehensive audit to evaluate the condition of the property and its tenancy. An action plan is then devised, prioritising the most pressing and urgent matters to ensure everything will align with legislation, compliance and AndersonDrake’s standards.

We have extracted key components from our comprehensive audit to offer a FREE basic property assessment for all commercial property investors. This evaluation will help you to gauge the current state of your property and its occupancy. We invite you to complete this brief 10-question survey to gain a better understanding of how well your investment is being serviced.

However, you can waive this right and sign a Lease for a shorter time period if all parties agree.
