Utility costs (electricity, water) are typically excluded from the base rent and charged separately based on metered consumption. Service charges covering common area maintenance, security and cleaning are usually included in quoted rents.
Subletting is generally permitted only with the landlord's written consent as specified in the lease agreement. Most contracts allow partial subletting provided the primary tenant maintains control of at least 60% of the leased space.
Premium commercial buildings provide CCTV surveillance, 24/7 armed guards, electronic access control systems, fire detection systems, and often have dedicated police posts nearby. Many newer buildings also feature biometric entry systems.
Standard leases include annual rent review clauses typically tied to inflation indices (usually between 5-10% annually). For longer leases (5+ years), reviews may occur every two or three years as negotiated between parties.
