Property Power Talks

Are you a business owner, landlord, or property manager navigating the evolving complexities of commercial and retail leasing in Queensland? With the Property Law Act 2023 fully in force from August 2025, the legal and commercial landscape has changed materially.

In this episode, we take a practical, end-to-end look at the lifecycle of a commercial lease, from commencement through to exit. We unpack high-risk provisions such as make good obligations that can result in significant costs at lease expiry, as well as often-overlooked demolition clauses and their commercial impact.

Hosted by Kayleigh Swift, Director of NB Property Law, this session cuts through legal jargon to deliver clear, actionable insights. The discussion goes beyond the fundamentals to examine holding over risks, rigid renewal timeframes, and the new statutory processes governing landlord consent and lease assignments, all of which are reshaping commercial leasing in Queensland today.

Whether you are negotiating a new lease, managing an existing portfolio, or planning an exit, this episode provides practical strategies to help you protect your commercial interests and avoid costly missteps.
