🏢 Retail vs Commercial Leasing 🏢 Knowing the difference between a retail and commercial lease is crucial! A retail lease is one granted where permitted use of the premises is predominantly used for the sale and supply of goods and/or services whereas a commercial lease will usually apply to large scale operations such as a premises that is used as a warehouse, industrial site or a commercial building without retail activity like an office.

Other states will be governed by their own state-based retail legislation.
