There are certain similarities between commercial and residential leases, since they are both written agreements for the use of real land. Retail stores, warehouses, offices, parking garages, and restaurants are all examples of commercial leases. Commercial leases often outline what kinds of businesses can operate there (Merrill, 2020). In accordance with the terms of some commercial leases, businesses can only be open on specific days and at specific times. Typically, commercial leases have terms of at least three years and often last for five. After that time frame has passed, the lessee usually has the option to renew. Apartment and home rentals are examples of residential leases. The majority of business uses are prohibited by residential leases, whereas the majority of residential uses are prohibited by commercial leases. The standard length of a residential lease is 12 months, with subsequent months being month-to-month (Shi & Shang, 2021). Because people’s housing is a basic necessity that deserves protection, the law provides certain safeguards for renters underneath a residential lease that don’t apply to residents under a business lease. This is because commercial renters are assumed to have greater resources and experience in negotiations. ContÉ
