Course Overview:
Councils are responsible for managing large property portfolios that are occupied by a broad range of tenants and users. Where properties are used by third party occupiers, a lease is put in place between the council as ‘landlord’ and the third party as ‘tenant’.
Because a lease forms the basis of a legal relationship, it is important that it is clear regarding the responsibilities of each party. It is important to outline the responsibilities and obligations of the tenant and be sure that the staff tasked with managing the property portfolios (and administering the leases) have an understanding of fundamental leasing principles and concepts.
The following matters will be addressed within this session:
- What are the key characteristics of a lease?
- What Acts and Regulations do you need to be aware of?
- Lease v’s Management Agreement – what are the key differences?
- The utility of standard terms and special conditions
- When does a lease commence?
- Rent and rent review mechanisms
- Outgoings, and the recovery of outgoings from tenant
- Common tenant obligations
- Common landlord obligations
- End of lease obligations
- Key risk issues to be aware of during the negotiation of a lease
