What's happening?
Whether you are a landlord preparing a lease or a tenant being asked to sign one, a review before execution helps confirm the terms match what was actually agreed and highlights anything that could cause problems down the track.
What could it mean for me?

- Missing or unclear rent review mechanisms can create uncertainty
- Assignment and subletting terms affect flexibility if your circumstances change
- Default and termination clauses set out what happens if things go wrong
What are my options?
- Request a plain-English summary of the key lease terms
- Identify any clauses that should be clarified or amended
- Confirm your position on assignment, subletting and default provisions
What happens next?
- Provide the draft lease for review
