If the tenant\/renter uses the space for business or other non-residential purpose, the term commercial lease usually applies.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat is the difference between residential rent and commercial rent?\r\n\r\nResidential rent implies the property is used by the tenant as a residence and not for profit \u2013 no sale of goods or services or manufacturing activity. The agreement can be on a periodic basis, which offers more flexibility (month-to-month) or for a fixed term, which offers more security (usually at least a year). The payment is usually based on a set amount per month.\r\nEvery state has built-in tenant-oriented protections to ensure a tenant\u2019s right to safe and secure housing and protect against unscrupulous landlords.\r\nCommercial rent (lease) is a contract between a business and a landlord, for commercial\/for profit use of the property. This type of rental agreement is usually for a longer period of time \u2013 the lease term is at least a few years. The payment is usually based on the square footage occupied by the tenant and, depending on the type of lease, the periodical payment may include other expenses incurred by the tenant. (See Lease)\r\nContrary to the residential context, a commercial tenant is considered to be on equal footing with the landlord in negotiating a commercial lease agreement. Therefore, there are usually far fewer state protections in place that look out for a business tenant.\r\n\r\n\r\nYou might also be interested in:\r\n\r\n \tHow to become a real estate broker?<\/a>\r\n \tHow to determine if something is a fixture?<\/a>\r\n \tHow to increase\/build equity?<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSearch other terms\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA<\/a>\r\nB<\/a>\r\nC<\/a>\r\nD<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nE<\/a>\r\nF<\/a>\r\nG<\/a>\r\nH<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nI<\/a>\r\nJ<\/a>\r\nK<\/a>\r\nL<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nM<\/a>\r\nN<\/a>\r\nO<\/a>\r\nP<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nQ<\/a>\r\nR<\/a>\r\nS<\/a>\r\nT<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nU<\/a>\r\nV<\/a>\r\nW<\/a>\r\nX<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nY<\/a>\r\nZ<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPopular terms\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAmortization<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nEquity <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nNotary Public <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nProgression\/Regression<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nAcquisition <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nAnnuity <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nAsset <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nFiduciary <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nInflation <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nContingency <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nEscrow<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nPower of attorney <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nReal Estate Agent <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nEminent Domain <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nLiability <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nStatute of Limitations<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nValid <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nVariance<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nContiguous <\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\nDeficit<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","link":"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-rent\/","name":"Rent","slug":"cre-term-rent","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat is Rent?
