The landlord of a commercial premises must comply with the obligations imposed on him by law as well as those which he assumes in the lease.
The lessor must in particular deliver the leased property to the lessee in good repair of all kinds and provide him with the enjoyment of the premises for the entire duration of the lease.
He must also guarantee to the tenant that the property can be used for the purpose for which it is rented and maintain it for that purpose for the entire duration of the lease.
Depending on the circumstances, the landlord may also be required to carry out certain repairs, take the necessary measures when a disturbance affects the enjoyment of the premises, and comply with other obligations imposed on him by law.
The commercial lease may also specify or allocate certain responsibilities between the landlord and the tenant, particularly with regard to maintenance, repairs, services, work, operating costs and use of the premises.
It is therefore important to consult the provisions of the lease in addition to the rules provided by law in order to determine precisely the respective obligations of the landlord and the tenant.
