An Ohio commercial lease agreement is a legal contract between a landlord and a tenant for renting business properties, like office, industrial, or retail spaces. Lease terms, often negotiable, vary significantly, and once signed, the agreement becomes enforceable in court. Commercial leases usually extend for multiple years to allow businesses ample time to generate income.
