Lexbase | Louise Duvernois: Commercial leases: key points for landlords and tenants to consider

In a context shaped by inflation, remote work, and the energy transition, the commercial lease has become, for both landlords and tenants, far more than a simple rental agreement: it now stands as a genuine lever for asset value enhancement, a key instrument of stability and competitiveness.

Louise Duvernois, partner, shares in an interview with LexFlash, her insights on this strategic tool at the intersection of legal, financial, and economic considerations.

Key topics covered:

— Essential points of vigilance for landlords: tenant solvency, indexation clauses (ILC / ILAT), transfer of charges, taxes, and works;
— Major mistakes to avoid on the tenant’s side: underestimation of the commitment period, overly restrictive use clauses, and poor anticipation of required works;
— Insights into the potential impact of the #LSE bill (property tax, guarantees, “tunnel” clause, etc.).
