Akin to every other stipulation of a lease/leave and license agreement, the term
(duration) is negotiable. Thus, when searching for property and bargaining with
the lessor/licensor, one should keep in mind various term options and relate to
the market conditions and act accordingly.
Depending on the property's use and the impact of location on your business, several
alternatives are available. For instance, if your business is rapidly developing
and you are seeking a short-term lease, renewal options become very important. A
renewal clause within a lease would permit a tenant to continue the agreement after
the original contract has expired. Remember that lease renewal is a simplistic task,
if done correctly. Extending a CRE lease isn't just beneficial to the tenant; the
landlord saves time, money, and perhaps stress from looking for a new lessee/licensee.
In Mumbai, the typical agreement is signed for a period of 12 months upto 60 Months,
usually separate letters are exchanged for an agreement which is to be agreed.
Oftentimes, a renewal clause paves way for a term rent increase. To avoid an unexpected
and burdensome rise, attempt to negotiate a prearranged rise in the rental rate.
Before signing a lease, it would be wise to research renewal options and agreement
extension possibilities. Decipher between automatic renewals, fixed end date, and
periodic extensions.
Nonetheless, though fairly clear-cut, there are several costly and common mistakes.
A few wrong decisions can hinder an entire profitable undertaking.
