Retail Leases Support

Written By Venture Melton

As a commercial tenant or landlord, it’s important to understand your rights and obligations under the Retail Leases Act 2003.

Under the Act, the Victorian Small Business Commission (VSBC) provides tenants and landlords with dispute resolution services, including free preliminary assistance and low-cost mediation, and information about the operation of the Act.

The VSBC website also includes information and guidance on:

  • entering into a retail lease;

  • repairs and maintenance; 

  • ending a lease early;

  • disclosure statements;

  • rent review disputes;

  • transfer of a retail leases premises;

  • and more.

To learn more about these areas, the VSBC’s services including their dispute resolution process and how to apply for impartial help, head to Retail tenants and landlords | Victorian Small Business Commission (vsbc.vic.gov.au).
