Renting an office or shop
Commercial Lease Agreement
Lease for an ordinary office or retail space between a landlord and a business tenant.
About this agreement
Prepare the details of a commercial property rental in Israel, such as an office, shop or business premises. Organize the parties’ information and the intended use of the space before working through the agreement with appropriate legal guidance.
Check the scope before you start
Read these scope conditions before starting. The guided form asks you to confirm each statement.
I confirm this is not an industrial, warehouse, turnover-rent, major-construction, or multi-property lease
If this is not true, this template is not suitable for your lease — consult a lawyer before continuing.
I confirm no key money was paid and no protected tenancy is intended
If this is not true, this template is not suitable for your lease — consult a lawyer before continuing.

What to prepare before you start
Collect the names and identifying details of the landlord and tenant. If a business is involved, note its details and who is expected to sign on its behalf.
Identify the premises precisely: address, rented areas, included spaces and equipment. Keep plans or condition notes available for comparison with the agreed description.
Write down the proposed rental period, rent, payment frequency and any discussed changes to the amount. Gather the agreed approach to additional property expenses.
List the intended business activity and any points still open about alterations, maintenance, security, handover or renewal. Keep these questions ready for professional review.
What to check before signing
Commercial rentals can involve terms specific to the property and the business. Check that the draft reflects the deal you discussed, and have a qualified lawyer review the agreement and unresolved questions before signing.
This preparation guide helps you organize information. It does not determine whether a template fits your circumstances or replace advice from a qualified Israeli lawyer.
