Retail leasing FAQ4: How do I exercise the option term on my lease?
How do I exercise the option term on my lease?
- Provide written notice to exercise the option term
- Must happen within a certain window of time prior to lease expiry
- The landlord has obligations to provide a notice of the last date to exercise an option
- Legally bound to the option term once exercised in writing
- Tenants in NSW & QLD can request early determination of market rent BEFORE exercising the option which places them in a much stronger negotiating position
