There is no question about it: It is getting tougher and tougher for small and medium-sized retailers to compete in today's environment. With rising rents and labour costs, and in the face of competing businesses often on the same block, today's retailer faces more challenges than ever.

One of the alarming trend over the past decade is the store Lease Agreement. Ten years ago the biggest consideration when signing a lease was the viability of the location itself (visibility, traffic, parking, etc.). Today, however, many retailers are falling prey to signing Lease Agreements that have been carefully engineered by and for landlords providing them with almost 100% of the leverage in the landlord-tenant relationship. As a retailer in Canada signing lease(s) in order to conduct business, have you asked yourself the following questions:

  • Which corporation am I using to sign & guarantee the lease?
  • Am I getting enough Options to Renew to provide my store with 20 years worth of security to this premise?
  • If I have to vacate early, do I have Assignment & Subletting rights?
  • Have I tried to get Early Termination rights?
  • What are my obligations when the Lease expires?
  • Do I have any Exclusive Use rights to protect me from competition?
  • Is there a Continuous Operation clause in the Lease?
These questions come from a checklist of approximately 50 questions that need to be examined carefully by today's retailer in Canada. If any one of the above questions is overlooked, the cost to the retailer of either added risk to the business or reduced flexibility can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
