An Iowa commercial lease agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a business tenant for the rental of commercial property. The lease agreement, which is commonly used for retail, office, or industrial space, outlines the terms and conditions of the arrangement, such as the lease term, rent amount, renewal terms, security deposit, and more. Compared to residential leases, commercial leases tend to be longer in duration (three to five years) and offer fewer protections and guarantees for the tenant. It is highly recommended that a legal professional review the contract to ensure that all the included provisions are fair to the tenant. Once signed by both parties, the lease agreement becomes a legal instrument that is binding and enforceable in a court of law.
