Key Points to Review Before Signing a Commercial Lease

A commercial lease is often one of the most significant commitments a business makes. Reviewing the agreement carefully before signing can help avoid disputes later.

Points commonly worth reviewing include the lease term and renewal conditions, rent and rent-increase provisions, deposit arrangements, permitted use of the premises, maintenance responsibilities and termination clauses.

The Turkish Code of Obligations contains specific rules on leases of residential and roofed workplaces, some of which cannot be overridden by contract.
