Here Is How You Can Create an Implied Lease Between a Landlord and Tenant. The actions of a landlord can cause a new implied lease to be created, despite no one signing a lease. This was the case in a recent Supreme Court of New South Wales case, Yangdo Pty Ltd v Equiti Group Pty Ltd [2017] NSWSC 277.
Do commercial landlords have to register?
If you have a commercial property lease lasting over seven years, you will be required to register it with Land Registry. It is the tenants’ responsibility to do so within two months of the commencement of the lease, but it is very much in the landlord’s interests to check that this has been done.
What happens if commercial lease is not registered?
If the lease is not registered, it follows that this notice is not given and means that the grant of the lease cannot operate at law. The consequence of this is that a landlord may not be able to recover unpaid rent from the guarantor if the tenant fails to pay.

What is the definition of a commercial lease?
A commercial lease agreement is a contract to rent retail, office, or industrial space between a landlord and tenant. The tenant pays a monthly amount to the landlord in return for being allowed the right to use the premises for their business purpose. Commercial leases are generally longer than residential types, between 3-5 years.
What to ask before signing a commercial lease?
Make sure you have documentation that states that the lease has been approved by your board of directors. You should have a corporate resolution to show that your board has considered the lease and has approved it. There should still be some documentation that the lease has been approved even if you don’t have a board of directors.
When does a landlord need to enter a commercial space?
The entry clause in your lease should address the days and times that the landlord may come to your commercial space. While, ideally, you’d like to restrict the landlord to nonbusiness hours and days, this is unrealistic—contractors, real estate brokers, and financial types all expect to work during normal business hours.
