CERTIFICATION RECORD
This template was prepared and reviewed by a licensed Saudi lawyer and is kept current as the Kingdom's regulations change.
Where an Arabic and an English text exist, the Arabic text prevails
A commercial lease that governs rent, term, maintenance, and renewal, aligned with the Ejar platform and bilingual.
A commercial lease governs the relationship between landlord and tenant for a shop, office, or warehouse, and it sets the rent, its term, and each party's obligations. Documenting leases on the Ejar platform has become the basis for securing both parties' rights and linking the relationship to official records, and Sighaty template P-01 is written to fit this framework and cover the core clauses: the rent and how it is paid, the contract term and renewal, the permitted use, maintenance obligations, and the security deposit and handover. The template is bilingual with the Arabic text prevailing on any difference, so it serves a non-Arabic-speaking tenant without undermining the governing reference.
Get the Commercial Lease TemplateP-01What this contract is and when you need it
A commercial lease fixes the terms of renting a property for a commercial purpose, from a retail shop to an office, warehouse, or facility. A business needs it when renting premises for its activity, and a landlord needs it to organize the relationship with the tenant and protect the property. What the contract most clearly addresses is the rent, how and when it is paid, its term, the permitted use, who bears maintenance, and the terms of renewal and handover, so nothing remains open to dispute.
- Renting a retail shop, office, or warehouse for the business's activity.
- Organizing the landlord-tenant relationship and protecting the property.
- The need for a contract aligned with the Ejar platform to document it.
What the smart-fill asks and what you receive
The smart-fill asks for the landlord and tenant details, a description of the property and its location, the rent and how it is paid, the term and start date, the permitted use, and the security deposit. You describe the deal in your own words, and we draft the clauses that govern all of it in a balanced way.
Within minutes you receive a formatted bilingual Word document, ready to sign and editable before approval, which you can rely on when documenting the contract on the Ejar platform. You get a contract complete in its clauses instead of a deficient template that leaves maintenance, renewal, or handover ungoverned.
Why a lawyer-certified template beats a free download
A free lease may omit clauses that cause many disputes: who bears major maintenance, how renewal and rent increases are calculated, and when handover may be required. The Sighaty template is certified by a licensed Saudi lawyer and addresses these points clearly, written to fit the Ejar platform framework and updated with the regulations, so you sign a contract that protects both sides instead of a generic form that ignores the specifics of a commercial property.
Frequently asked questions
Must the commercial lease be documented on the Ejar platform?
Documenting leases on the Ejar platform has become the established practice for preserving the landlord's and tenant's rights and linking the contract to official records. The template is written to fit this framework, so you enter its data into the platform when documenting without redrafting.
Who bears maintenance in a leased commercial property?
It depends on what the parties agree in the contract. The template lets you allocate maintenance obligations clearly between landlord and tenant, for example the landlord bearing major structural maintenance and the tenant bearing day-to-day operational upkeep, so disputes over responsibility are reduced.
How does the contract handle renewal and rent increases?
The template provides a renewal mechanism and the extent and timing of any rent increase where the parties agree, with prior notice. Setting this in writing protects the tenant from a sudden increase and protects the landlord from rent staying fixed despite changing circumstances.
