A flexible lease agreement for land, grounds or buildings - customize and download in minutes

A lease agreement is the contract a landlord and a tenant sign to put the leasing of property in writing. This template is a comprehensive, plain-English format built for leasing land, grounds or a building - the kind used for ground leases, commercial plots, yards, and standalone buildings. It sets out the property being leased and its permitted use, the term, the rent and how it escalates each year, who is responsible for taxes, utilities, repairs and improvements, and what happens on default, holdover or termination.

Just answer a few simple questions - the landlord's and tenant's details, the property and its permitted use, the term, the rent and escalation, and your governing law - and your personalized lease agreement is generated instantly, ready to download as PDF or Word.

Who is this lease agreement for?

Landowners, property developers, businesses and investors leasing land, a yard, or a building — whether for a ground lease, commercial site, or standalone premises - and tenants who want a thorough written contract. Because it is jurisdiction-neutral, you choose the governing law and arbitration body, and you describe the property and use, so the same comprehensive format adapts to your deal.

Disclaimer: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal advice. Property, lease-registration, stamp-duty, planning and environmental rules vary widely by country, state and property type, and long leases and ground leases often need registration or professional drafting. For high-value leases, ground leases with construction, or anything you are unsure about, have the final agreement reviewed by a qualified local lawyer before signing.
