The process of leasing non-residential real estate is called commercial rent or leasing. This definition includes any commercial type of real estate, from offices and individual premises to retail and industrial premises. The main benefit of this type of lease is that there is no need to buy your own real estate — instead, a flexible contract is concluded, which can often be terminated early.

Main rental properties:

  • Offices and individual premises. Office rent includes renting out premises for business operations. These can be either individual offices or entire floors in office buildings.
  • Retail space. Conclusion of an agreement for the provision of real estate for retail trade, placement of restaurants, cafés, or services for consumers.
  • Warehouses and production areas. Warehouses and production areas are also rented for business activities related to the storage of goods or production processes.

Commercial leases can range from short-term (a few months) to long-term (3 to 10 years or more). Long-term contracts are usually signed with large, stable tenants, while short-term contracts are more often signed with small businesses and startups.
