WAREHOUSE RENTAL AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FAQ
What is a warehouse rental agreement?
A Warehouse Rental Agreement is a contract between a property owner/landlord and a tenant for the rental of warehouse space used for storage, distribution, or light industrial operations. It outlines rent, term, space details, access, permitted use, and responsibilities for utilities, maintenance, and insurance.
How is a warehouse rental agreement different from a residential lease?
Warehouse rentals are commercial arrangements. They often include different rules on maintenance, insurance, safety compliance, and permitted use (such as storage restrictions, hazardous materials rules, loading dock access, and security procedures). This template is tailored to commercial warehouse use.
What should be included in a warehouse rental agreement?
Common terms include: premises description (square footage, unit, docks), term and renewal, rent and deposits, permitted use and prohibited materials, access hours and security, maintenance and repairs, utilities, insurance requirements, liability/indemnity, compliance with laws, and default/termination provisions.
Who is responsible for maintenance and repairs?
It depends on the deal. Many warehouse leases are “triple net” (tenant pays more operating costs) or split responsibilities (landlord handles structure/roof; tenant handles interior and operations). This template includes selectable options.
Can the tenant sublease or share the space?
Usually only with landlord consent. This template includes a subleasing clause with a consent requirement.
