What other fees are involved in leasing a commercial property?

In a commercial lease situation, the Lessee is generally required to pay lease preparation costs and costs associated with searches (eg: credit or company check).

In a retail lease situation, the Lessee is not able to be charged a lease preparation fee.  

Generally, the Lessee is also required to pay their own utility services including electricity, gas, phone, internet, cleaning, waste disposal, lawn and garden maintenance and property maintenance (eg: air conditioner servicing, fire equipment servicing).
