Introduction
For a retail landlord or retail tenant, retail tenancy legislation can be a minefield, a trap for young players and a downright headache. The fact that each State has its own Act (each inconsistent with the other, and each inescapable), makes property managers long for a career move.
We have tried to make our job and yours easier by preparing a user friendly analysis of retail tenancy legislation.
The analysis compares the main provisions of the New South Wales legislation against legislation in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, the ACT, Tasmania and the Northern Territory and is an update of our popular Retail Tenancies Comparative Analysis 2010.
The analysis incorporates legislative amendments up to 9 May 2012.
Clayton Utz has extensive expertise in acting for landlords and tenants on retail tenancy matters and on commercial property acquisitions, joint ventures sales and development matters generally.
