Commercial vs Residential
This lease is for commercial properties - retail, office, industrial, and warehouse premises. Commercial leases in Ireland are not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act and have very different rules around rent reviews, break clauses, and tenant obligations. If you need a residential tenancy agreement, use our Tenancy Agreement product instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial leases are not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act and the RTB has no jurisdiction. There is no rent control, no minimum duration protections, and no RTB registration requirement. Commercial lease terms are entirely negotiable between the parties. This means proper documentation is even more important - there are fewer statutory protections if something goes wrong.
A Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) lease places all repair and insurance obligations on the tenant. This is the standard structure for single-tenant commercial properties. For multi-tenant buildings, an internal repairing lease with a service charge is more common. The choice significantly affects the tenant's ongoing costs.
A break clause gives one or both parties the right to end the lease early at specified intervals (typically every 3 or 5 years). For tenants, a break clause provides flexibility if the business outgrows the premises or needs to downsize. For landlords, it provides an opportunity to review terms. Most modern commercial leases include break clauses.
Yes. Since January 2009, a BER certificate is required when a commercial building is constructed, sold, or rented. The BER must be displayed in a prominent place in the building. For BER assessments, visit HomeRating.ie.
