Commercial Lease Agreement QLD Template – Queensland Compliant Lease Kit | Only $89.95
Why should you use a written commercial lease?
Using a written commercial lease offers essential protection for property owners in several ways.
Firstly, it explicitly outlines the terms and conditions of the lease, ensuring both parties are aware of their responsibilities.
Secondly, if the tenant violates any lease terms, the landlord can confidently address the issue, using the lease as concrete evidence of the agreed terms.
Typical breaches include:
- Late or missed rent payments
- Property damage
- Unlawful or improper use of the property
Imagine dealing with these issues based on a verbal agreement.
Disagreements are inevitable because people often remember events differently, leading to arguments and increased tension. Such hostility makes resolving the issue harder and can cause future disputes. This can hurt your finances because an unhappy tenant might neglect the property or delay rent payments.
What starts as a profitable investment can quickly turn into a financial burden. In a worst-case scenario, if you need to take the matter to court, proving your case without a written agreement is nearly impossible.
Avoid the risk of verbal agreements—use our professionally drafted Commercial Lease Agreement. At $89.95, it’s an obvious choice!

Frequently Asked Questions
- Who can use this Commercial Tenancy Agreement template?
- It’s suitable for landlords, property managers, or business owners leasing out commercial property in Queensland. The documents are written in plain English and simple to complete.
- What types of premises does this lease cover?
- The template is suitable for offices, warehouses, industrial units, and other commercial premises. For retail shops, use our Retail Lease Kit tailored to the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (QLD).
- What’s included in the Commercial Lease Kit?
- The kit includes a professionally drafted QLD Commercial Lease Agreement in Word format, a step-by-step User Guide, an Agreement to Lease (Heads of Agreement), a Tenant Application Form, and a Commercial Premises Inspection Report.
- Do I need a lawyer to use this lease?
- No, our documents are written in plain English and designed for the non-legally trained. However, we can refer you to a trusted legal professional if you need tailored advice for your individual situation.
- Can I edit the documents?
- Yes, you’ll receive Word format documents that you can edit to suit your needs.
- What’s the difference between a Commercial Lease and a Retail Lease?
- Commercial Leases are not as heavily regulated as Retail Leases, giving both parties more freedom to negotiate the terms. Retail Leases, on the other hand, are governed by specific QLD legislation and come with stricter rules – such as the provision of the retail lease disclosure statements (included in our Retail Lease Kit).
- Does the kit include guidance on how to complete the lease?
- Yes – the included User Guide walks you through each step of the lease agreement, explaining every clause in plain English. It helps you understand the terms, customise the agreement, and fill it out correctly with confidence.
- Can I change or add terms to the lease?
- Yes the lease is provided to you in Microsoft Word format, so you can easily modify it to suit your particular situation. The User Guide explains which parts you can change and how to do it.
- Can I use this lease for a new tenancy or to renew an existing one?
- The template is suitable for both new lease agreements and lease renewals. Just adjust the relevant terms like start date, rent, and term length to reflect the new arrangement.
- What’s the difference between an Agreement to Lease and a Lease?
- An Agreement to Lease (also called Heads of Agreement) sets out the basic terms you’ve agreed on before preparing the formal lease. It’s a useful tool when you’re still finalising details or want to reserve the property before the full lease is signed. Both documents are included in the kit.
- Should I get a guarantor for the lease?
- If the tenant is a company, it’s common to request a personal guarantee from a director or shareholder. The User Guide explains when and why a guarantor may be appropriate, and how this can provide extra protection for landlords.
- Am I required to register this lease?
- No, registration is not legally required for a lease to be valid. However, for leases longer than 3 years, registration is recommended to protect the tenant’s interest if the property is sold. The User Guide provides more detail and a link to Titles Queensland if you wish to register your lease.
- What happens if the tenant doesn’t move out at the end of the lease?
- The lease includes a continuation clause that allows the tenancy to roll over on a month-to-month basis if the tenant remains in the premises and no new lease is signed. The landlord can end this ongoing tenancy with proper notice.
