It’s important to be aware of your commercial lease insurance requirements.

Here’s the 3 important things you need to confirm:
- What is the level of legal liability cover that the lease agreement is asking to comply with?
Many commercial tenancy agreements will require your business to have a minimum level of legal or public liability cover. It’s important to read the fine print of your lease, to find out if your current insurance meets this.
If this is a clause of your tenancy agreement, you’ll likely need to provide evidence that you are complying, such as your certificate of currency.
- Is there a requirement on the lease for you to have glass insurance?
Some commercial leases specify that you must have glass insurance up to a certain amount, particularly if you have a store front with large windows.
Don’t be caught off guard – or out of pocket – this can be a costly and time sensitive expense, nor do you want to be in breach of your lease agreement.
- Are you responsible for the air conditioning equipment and exhaust?
Occasionally a commercial lease agreement will specify that you, as the tenant, are responsible for any machinery breakdown including air conditioning issues.
To avoid the sudden expense of having to repair your air conditioning, speak to your insurance broker about ensuring this cover is included in your business insurance policy.
