In most cases, you are leasing your commercial property from a landlord for a specific period. Your relationship with your landlord is governed by a commercial property lease, which outlines key terms and conditions. This may include rent, reviews and outgoings. However, to terminate your lease early, there are some key considerations. This article will outline how you can terminate your commercial lease during a business sale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial Lease in a Business Sale&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a business sale, your buyer is likely to conduct due diligence. In this process, they will review many business factors, including your current property and commercial lease agreement. A <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/property-and-leasing\/terms-in-a-lease-agreement\/\">commercial lease<\/a> document is essential in outlining both parties\u2019 rights and responsibilities. Key terms often include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>rent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/property-and-leasing\/commercial-rent-review\/\">rent review<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>maintenance and outgoings;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lease term;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>permitted use;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>confidentiality; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>termination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>Ensure your lease is ready for viewing and that your property is up-to-date. You should resolve any repairs or damages before the due diligence process starts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review the Lease Agreement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in terminating your commercial lease is thoroughly reviewing your lease agreement terms. Pay close attention to the termination clauses, which outline the specific terms and conditions for ending the lease prematurely. The termination process may vary based on the lease type and any break clause included in the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you may need to buy out the term of your lease, assign it to a third party or negotiate an early exit. Additionally, your landlord may require some notice and documents from your buyer. Before accepting the new tenant, they may want to review their CV, financial statements and business plan. Ensure to negotiate for an option that best suits your business and financial needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white

Discuss your reasons for wanting to terminate the lease. It is crucial to provide as much notice as possible and attempt to negotiate an amicable solution with your landlord, which may include finding a new tenant or agreeing to terminate the lease mutually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negotiation is key to a successful lease termination. Your landlord may be open to renegotiating the terms of your lease, such as extending the notice period, reducing penalties, or working together to find a new tenant. If both parties can reach a mutually satisfactory agreement, it can save both time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore Assignment and Subletting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, your lease agreement may allow for assignment or subletting. Assignment involves transferring your lease to another business, while subletting allows you to lease part of the property to another tenant. Before pursuing these options, consult your lease agreement and discuss them with your landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a lease assignment, you can transfer your rights and obligations to the new owner. Your landlord will need to provide consent for this. To formalise an assignment, your lawyer can help draft a deed of assignment that includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>your consent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>landlord\u2019s consent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>buyer\u2019s consent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>description of the property; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>commercial lease terms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/property-and-leasing\/can-i-sublease-a-commercial-property\/\">sublet the property<\/a> to your buyer. You can either sublet the whole property or a part of it.
