A bad lease clause can cost you for years. Vincent Mark Law is the Commercial & Residential Leasing Lawyer in Burnaby landlords and tenants trust.
A lease is one of the longest financial commitments you will ever sign, yet most people sign after a quick read. That is where trouble starts. A vague repair clause, an unfair renewal term, or a missed notice deadline can cost a business its location or leave a landlord with an unpaid unit. British Columbia also treats the two lease types very differently. Residential tenancies fall under the Residential Tenancy Act, with disputes heard by the Residential Tenancy Branch. Commercial leases are not covered by that Act at all, which means your written contract governs almost everything. Getting that contract right is the whole ballgame.

Residential tenancies are governed by the Residential Tenancy Act, which sets strict rules on rent increases, notices, and evictions. Commercial leases are not covered by that Act, so your written contract controls nearly everything. That makes careful drafting far more important commercially.
Many leasing services are quoted as a clear, fixed fee, such as drafting or reviewing an agreement. Complex negotiations or disputes may be billed hourly. You get the full cost in writing before we start, so your budget stays predictable.
