Our Services
At Fred Kalouche & Associates, we provide clear, commercially focused advice to landlords and tenants on commercial and retail leasing arrangements. Our role is to ensure lease terms are properly negotiated, obligations are clearly defined and risks are identified early — so you can proceed with certainty.
We review lease agreements in detail, identifying unfavourable terms, hidden risks and unclear obligations before you commit. Clear advice ensures you understand exactly what you are agreeing to.
We prepare and negotiate lease agreements to ensure terms are commercially appropriate, balanced and aligned with your objectives — whether you are a landlord or tenant.
Where leases are being transferred as part of a business sale or restructuring, we manage documentation and negotiations to ensure compliance and continuity.
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial & Retail Leasing
What is the difference between a commercial lease and a retail lease?
Retail leases are covered under the Retail Leases Act and provide specific protections for tenants. Commercial leases are broader and used for office or industrial spaces.
Do I need a lawyer to review a lease?
Yes. A lease is a legally binding document. Legal advice helps you understand your rights, avoid hidden costs and negotiate more favourable terms.
Can lease terms be changed after signing?
No. Once the lease is signed and commenced, terms cannot be amended without agreement from both parties. That’s why legal review before signing is essential.
What happens if there’s a dispute with the landlord or tenant?
We can help resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation. If necessary, we can represent you in court to protect your interests.
