Tenancy & Lease Negotiation



Are you renting a retail property?

Is your lease causing you pain?

Do you need some help or advice?


The Tenancy Services Division has experienced consultants who can assist you with your lease negotiation.  Retailers must treat their lease agreements with a high priority.  Failing to invest time and effort into a lease can have disastrous consequences.  For example, by missing a critical date to exercise your option you may be out on the street and your goodwill given to a competitor.

For many retailers, occupancy costs are the second highest expense after wages.  Managing this expense and your lease agreement is critical for the ongoing success of your business.  The HAV team offers members a wealth of knowledge and expertise in all areas of property, tenancy and negotiation.  This has been gleaned from extensive experience in retail property management and leasing.

If your premises are rented, your lease can be the most important document you have.
