Tenant Considerations for F&B Rentals
The typical bar lease requires a security deposit equivalent to 2-3 months' rent plus one month's rent in advance. Most landlords allow tenant improvements but require restoration upon exit. Operating hours may be restricted by local bylaws or mall regulations where applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Monthly rent typically covers the physical space only. Tenants usually pay separately for utilities (water, electricity), service charges (in malls), maintenance fees, and any municipal levies. Some fully-equipped bars may include basic furniture and equipment in the rent.
Most commercial bar leases run for 2-5 years with options to renew. New operators often start with shorter terms (1-2 years) to establish the business. Rent reviews typically occur annually with increases tied to inflation or market rates.
Subletting rights depend on your lease agreement. Many landlords prohibit subletting without written consent. Some allow partial subletting (e.g., for a snack counter or gaming machines) if the primary business remains operational.
Beyond the lease agreement, you'll need: 1) County government single business permit, 2) Liquor license (transfer or new application), 3) Public health certificate, 4) Music copyright license (if playing music), and potentially fire safety certification depending on capacity.
Standard deposits equal 2-3 months' rent payable upfront along with the first month's rent. The deposit is refundable at lease end minus any damages or outstanding charges. Some landlords may require additional guarantees for new operators.
