Lease and tenancy law

When entering into a lease, there are a number of parameters to consider to ensure that each party’s purpose with the lease is fulfilled. It is important that the lease regulates these issues clearly and that the mandatory legal regulations that apply in the area are taken into account.rnrnSetterwalls has long experience in reviewing, negotiating and establishing all types of leases. These may include leases for offices, retail and other commercial premises, but also industrial premises and premises that are to be rebuilt or which have not yet been erected.
