Frequently asked questions

We answer your questions


It is governed by the LAU as a lease for use other than housing, where freedom of contract between the parties prevails. That's why good drafting of the contract is even more decisive than for housing.

The transfer (assignment of the contract) allows the tenant to pass their business to a third party. The law recognises this right with certain requirements, but it is advisable to regulate the conditions, notice period and the landlord's possible rent increase in the contract.

It depends on what is agreed. It is common to grant a rent-free period in exchange for the tenant carrying out the works. We regulate who carries out and pays for the works and what happens to them at the end of the contract.

In addition to the legal two-month deposit for non-housing use, bank guarantees, additional deposits or personal guarantees can be agreed. We design the strongest guarantee scheme for the landlord.
