Leases

Leases provide both building owners and tenants security by establishing their rights and responsibilities. The duration of tenancy, rate and terms of the lease are all covered by a lease agreement. The leased premises have to be measured to establish the area and location of the premises. Any lease agreement exceeding 3 years is required by law to be registered at the B.C. Land Title Office.

Leased areas are typically measured in BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) standards, a standard for measuring floor area in office buildings. These plans are included in lease documents for the protection of both the landlord and tenant. Bennett Land Surveying Ltd. has experience conducting surveys and preparing plans up to BOMA standards and filing with the B.C. Land Title Office.
