- Entering into a commercial lease is a big commitment for any business. Unlike most residential leases, most commercial leases last for many years—often decades. Accepting unfavorable terms in a lease can detrimentally affect a business, especially a fledgling business that is just starting out. A smart commercial tenant will review the proposed lease carefully to ensure that the lease will not be a detriment to the owner’s business. The school of hard knocks or attempting to learn about leases by trial and error is a dangerous course of action as the first error may lead to business failure.
