Market Rent Reviews 

Market Rent Review Rental Assessments

Independent Assessment of Market Rent Under Commercial Leases 

I provide independent market rent review services for commercial properties, undertaken in accordance with the specific provisions of each lease and supported by current market evidence.

Market rent reviews are commonly required at lease renewal, option exercise or review dates, and form a critical part of commercial leasing outcomes across Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

What Is a Market Rent Review? 

A market rent review involves assessing the prevailing market rent for a tenancy at a specified review date, having regard to:

• The terms and structure of the lease

• The permitted use and relevant zoning

• Comparable market leasing evidence

• Incentives and effective rent considerations

• Current market conditions at the review date
  
  

Market rent reviews must be conducted strictly in accordance with the lease to ensure the outcome is valid and defensible.

When a Market Rent Review Applies 

Market rent reviews are commonly required:

• At lease renewal or option exercise

• At scheduled review dates under longer-term leases

• Where CPI or fixed increases revert to market

• When parties cannot agree on proposed rent

• In preparation for or response to a rental dispute
  
  

Independent advice assists in clarifying market position and reducing the risk of escalation.
