The impact of competition law on leasing

In the competitive world of commercial leasing, both landlords and tenants seek to drive a hard bargain, and press for the outcome that best suits their needs. Hard-bargaining is not illegal, but a breach of Australian competition law is. The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 applies to the business activities of both landlords, tenants and their agents and contractors, and any negotiations or contracts, arrangements or understandings reached need to bear this Act in mind.
