Document background

The Simple Office Lease Agreement is designed for use in England and Wales when establishing a straightforward commercial tenancy for office space. This document is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized office lettings where complex service charge provisions or elaborate management structures are unnecessary. It contains all essential elements required by English law while remaining accessible and practical. The agreement typically includes basic provisions for rent, maintenance, insurance, and standard tenant covenants, while offering flexibility to add specific requirements as needed. It's commonly used for terms between 1-5 years and provides a balanced framework protecting both landlord and tenant interests.
