Where do landlords (or their representatives) notify a retail lease?
Section 25 of the Retail Leases Act 2003 requires a landlord to notify the Victorian Small Business Commissioner of lease details within 14 days of the parties signing a new retail lease or renewing an existing lease. Details that must be notified include details of the parties’ names and addresses, the date of signing of the lease by all parties, the expiry date of the initial term of the lease and the expiry date of the lease if the lease is extended by all options. Leases can be notified to the VSBC via the VSBC website, by fax or post. Click here for details.
