Leases and Licences to Occupy

We provide expert legal advice on leases and licences to occupy, supporting landlords, tenants, and property owners across Waikato and New Zealand. Our Property team is experienced in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial and residential leases, as well as licences to occupy for a wide range of property arrangements.

Leases and licences to occupy are essential for establishing clear rights and responsibilities between parties, whether for retail, office, industrial, farming, or residential premises. We assist clients with preparing and interpreting lease agreements, advising on rent reviews, renewal options, maintenance obligations, and dispute resolution. Our lawyers ensure your agreements comply with relevant legislation, including the Property Law Act and Residential Tenancies Act.

We also advise on licences to occupy, which are commonly used for retirement villages, shared living arrangements, and unique property situations. Our team helps clients understand the differences between leases and licences, ensuring your interests are protected and your occupancy arrangements are legally sound.

McCaw Lewis is committed to delivering practical, strategic advice that empowers you to make informed decisions about property occupation. We work collaboratively with other specialist teams within the firm to offer comprehensive support for all your property law needs, including asset protection, dispute resolution, and compliance.
