Commercial Lease

Commercial lease is complex, posing challenges for actors within the rental market. The provisions of the Swedish Land Code (Jordabalken) concerning leases are protective in nature, designed to safeguard tenants' rights, thereby imposing strict requirements for regulatory compliance. At the same time, lease agreements govern a contractual relationship between two commercial parties, whose business interests are of central importance. In the realm of commercial tenancy, such contractual relationships often involve significant investments by both parties, substantial commercial value, and long contract durations.
