Run your building
The paperwork did not come with instructions.
Start with authority, money, records and the recurring work. Use the lease where it allocates rights and costs, and use the relevant statutory source where duties arise outside it.
How building trust helps
Solve what you can. Check the source. Escalate only when necessary.
- 01Understand the issue
Start with a concise answer in ordinary language.
- 02Organise the evidence
Use the checklist or practical tool where one helps.
- 03Check the signed lease
Use LEASE-iQ® to find the clause, source and uncertainty.
- 04Decide what needs help
Use professional input for ambiguity, dispute, safety or material consequence.
A lease does not establish that a building is safe or that every statutory duty has been met. Fire, electrical and other building requirements need the correct legal role, scope, facts and competent evidence.
