West Perth Legal offers comprehensive commercial and retail lease review services. Our leasing lawyers reviews your lease to analyse the terms & conditions of a lease agreement to ensure they are fair, reasonable, and protect the interests of the tenant. Whether you have a specific question on your lease, or if you require a comprehensive review before you sign the lease, we can tailor our services to suit your needs.
By reviewing and addressing the important details in a lease, a tenant will gain a better understanding of the lease and how it may affect the business cash flow or operations for the duration of the lease. This provides tenants with greater confidence as they sign up to a new lease.

In Western Australia, landlords leasing out premises with chattels (e.g., furniture, equipment, or appliances) should consider registering their interest under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPSA). Without registration, a landlord’s ownership rights may be at risk if a tenant becomes insolvent. If a tenant’s creditors or liquidators claim the chattels, an unregistered interest may be lost. West Perth Legal assists our clients register interests over chattels under the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) to protect the client’s interests in leased assets.
In Western Australia, registering a lease with Landgate, the state's land authority, provides legal protection for both landlords and tenants. A lease exceeding three years should be registered to secure the tenant’s rights against third parties, such as new property owners. Registration ensures the lease remains valid even if ownership changes. Although registration isn’t mandatory for short-term leases, it strengthens a tenant’s legal standing and can prevent disputes. West Perth Legal assists our clients register a commercial lease with Landgate.
