In South Australia, it is quite rare for leases to be registered. However, should this lease undergo registration, the Land Titles Office (LTO) prohibits the inclusion of any trust names. Despite this, many users prefer to mention the trust or superannuation fund's name in the document to clarify that the specified Landlord is acting on the trust's behalf. You are free to include the trust or superannuation fund's name if you wish.

In South Australia, lease registration is an uncommon occurrence. If this lease were to be registered, the Land Titles Office (LTO) disallows the inclusion of trust names. Even though some Tenants occasionally request the trust name to be mentioned in the document, you have the option to include it if desired. However, I generally advise against doing so, as it may potentially limit the liability of the Tenant named in the Lease.

Rent

Regular equal payments of rent

Initial annual rent

Rent in words

rent monthly hidden

Just checking. That is [field_1623662494942_173] payable by equal monthly payments of currencyformat([field_1623663041693_175],'$').

	Yes, that is right - equal monthly payments
	No, it is more complex

If you are giving a rent holiday then still please insert what a full year's rent would have been and ignore the discount you are giving.

Does this number include GST?

	No, I have not added on anything for GST
	Yes, this includes an amount for GST

Info. In the lease, I use the rent amount that excludes GST. I ask these questions to confirm I have the correct figure. I also state that if the Landlord is registered for GST, the Tenant will be responsible for paying the GST in addition to the rent. This ensures that the Tenant is not charged GST if the Landlord is not registered. However, if the property is sold, the new owner may charge GST moving forward.

Day the rent is to be paid

	First day of each month
	On the Commencement Date of the lease then on that same day each month

Rent holidays or the some time rent free

Please describe what concession you are giving the Tenant. How long does it go for? Is it full rent free or do they pay half rent? Do they pay rates and taxes and other outgoings during this period?

Rent holiday details

Rent not paid by regular equal instalments

This is for Tenants who don't fit into the first part of this page.

What rent do they pay each month. Does this include GST? After a while does it settle down to regular equal monthly instalments? When is this and what do they pay then? Does this affect their payments of rates and taxes and other outgoings all the time or does this change too?

Rent Reviews

Explanation

Most Landlords review rent each year. Our common methods are:

According to movements in C.P.I. - sometimes plus a margin such as an extra 2%
Market Value - what similar properties are leasing for in the area at that time
Fixed set amounts that are agreed from the start - perhaps a lower rent in years 1 and 2 then a full rent later on.
Increases by a set percentage each year.

The most common review is C.P.I. adjustments each year, except when the Tenant has the option to extend the lease when Landlords usually ask for a review to Market Value.

Rates and taxes and outgoings

Rates and taxes are items that are charged just on the Leased Premises - such as Council Rates.
Outgoings are expenses associated with the whole property. Such as insurance and Emergency Services Levy.

There is a list on the next page of what these expenses might be.

In this lease who pays most of the rates, taxes and outgoings?

	Tenant (Net Rent)
	Landlord (Gross Rent)

Is there anything that you want to specially mention that the Landlord or the Tenant is to pay?

The usual arrangement is that the Tenant pays 100% of anything that is specifically rated or charged just on the Leased Premises and a fair share of the expenses of the whole property.

What share does the Tenant pay of the expenses of the whole property?

What share does the Tenant pay of the outgoings (the expenses of the whole property)?

How and when are these paid

Explanation

The most common arrangement is that the Landlord estimates what the expenses will be for the following year and divides this into 12 instalments. The Tenant then pays this instalment at the same time that he pays the rent.

At the end of the financial year the Landlord calculates how much it really did cost and whether the Tenant has paid too much or too little. The Landlord then estimates expenses for the next 12 months and the Tenant starts paying that new amount.

The alternative is that the Tenant pays the bills as they each become due. Tenants are less reliable in paying this way as they can get hit with a few big expenses in some months.

The Tenant shall pay rates and taxes and outgoings

	Monthly based on an annual estimate
	As each bill comes in

Figures for Disclosure Statement

These are your estimate of what the Tenant will pay in the first year of the lease for rates and taxes and other outgoings.

Based on your answers so far we expect that all of these items will remain blank. The items that the Tenant has to pay to other people such as electricity is not included here.

This is a list of all amounts that the Tenant has to pay to the Landlord each year in addition to the rent. That includes payments on behalf of the Landlord; such as paying rates directly to the council.

This part of the form is not intended to explain what parts the Landlord or the Tenant is to pay. That should already have been explained in your choices on the Outgoings page.

Warning! If you have an item for this table but you have not included it in the earlier Outgoings page, then please return to that page to add this.

Use your best estimate if you do not have an accurate figure for any item.
State the amount that the Tenant is to pay. If the Tenant pays half of the Council Rates and these are $10,000 in total each year, then enter 5,000.00.
Please work out the numbers on an annual basis (if you pay something quarterly then multiply it by four).
Only enter the numbers that the Tenant is to pay. Please do not enter any words. Do not enter the proportion (eg "quarter share") - just the amount they pay. Just type the numbers and our $ symbol is inserted.

Warning! If you have an item for this table but you have not included it in the earlier Outgoings page, then please return to that page to add this.

You stated earlier that this is a Gross Rent lease (the Landlord pays all the outgoings). We expect this page to be blank.

You stated earlier that this is a Gross Rent lease (the Landlord pays all the outgoings). We expect this page to be blank aside from the special exceptions that you said the Tenant was to pay.

Security

Explanation

How do you secure payments by the Tenant and that they look after the premises and then leave them in good order when they leave? This is particularly a problem when the Tenant might not be worth suing because they don't own much or don't care if they are bankrupted or liquidated.

Common methods are a cash bond (which is held by the Commissioner of Small Business) in an amount up to 3 months of rent. Or a Bank Guarantee. This is not limited to 3 months of rent. The Tenant pays their bank to give a written guarantee on their behalf that if anything goes wrong then the bank will back them up and pay the Landlord. The pockets of banks are never empty.

Companies are a particular problem. They stop paying rent and being good Tenants when they are in financial trouble. They rarely own much by then and have given up. The company So it is very common to ask for a Director's Guarantee. Directors are more likely to have other assets that they don't want to lose and care more about becoming bankrupt. A parent or wealthy relative can also give a guarantee.

Superannuation funds should usually ask for the same security that a commercial Landlord would require - which is a minimum of a Director's Guarantee where the Tenant is a company.

We don't charge extra for preparing any of this.

What security do you want

In addition you may use my website again to correct any of your information you provided for the Lease (one time and within a week a period of 7 days from the time your Lease is emailed to you). If you do so then this agreement also covers the period from when you start to use my website again to make corrections to the time when I have emailed the changed Lease to you. After this I will no longer act as your lawyer, any lawyer-client relationship will end and I will have no further obligation to you.
A lawyer-client relationship is not formed with me just by you putting any question to me or if you only complete part of any form.
I may decline to provide my services to you or may cease acting for you at any time before emailing your Lease agreement to you and give no reason for this. If I decline to act to supply my services to you I shall have no obligation or liability to you for the cost of obtaining that document or legal service elsewhere or for any direct or indirect loss that results from this.

Information we each provide
My website provides general legal information only. This is not the same thing as legal advice. You agree and accept that the legal information I am able to provide is general and not specific to your situation.
You must ensure and you promise that the information you provide to me is accurate and complete. I undertake no check of the accuracy of that information.
I have not agreed to provide, have not provided and will not provide any commercial or tax advice to you and you understand none of my information is given or tailored to your specific commercial or tax position. If I prepare a Lease for you this does not mean that I have made any assessment or recommendation whether using this service is a better option than engaging a full service lawyer.
You agree that you have read all of the information on my website and have complied with it. You will not use the Lease for a purpose or in a situation when I have warned you should not use it for this.
If you have any doubts about the effect or meaning of the terms set out in clauses 8 and 9 and any other part of this agreement you should take advice from your accountants and/ or a full service lawyer.
By using this site and service you promise that you are a Landlord or using this service on behalf of a Landlord. This service is not suitable for use by a Tenant.
You acknowledge that besides the terms of the Lease you are bound by the laws relating to leases and the relationship between a Landlord and a Tenant. I will not provide any advice in relation to any of these. I just provide a document. I prepare this on the basis that the Retail & Commercial Leases Act will apply.
