A Delaware commercial lease agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions governing the rental of non-residential property in the state. The permitted uses of the leased premises include retail spaces, offices, and industrial facilities.
The document describes the location of the property, its square footage, and any specific features or amenities provided. It may also include provisions for rent escalation over the lease term, detailing how and when rent increases may occur. Commercial leases in Delaware often have fixed terms, and the document may specify renewal options and conditions for terminating the lease prematurely.
