A Montana commercial lease agreement is a legal document regulating the relationship between a commercial landlord and a business tenant. It includes various clauses relating to the lease term, security deposit, rent amount, subleasing permissions, and real estate tax payments.
Before signing the lease agreement, a landlord should use a rental application to check the tenant’s financial status and background. This way, they can determine if the tenant will conduct business legally and abide by the agreement’s conditions. A tenant can also do due diligence to confirm the property will meet the company’s needs.
