Do you have an unreasonable landlord? Is your upcoming rent review for your childcare service going to be unreasonably increased? Are you feeling like you are not being treated fairly? Do you need help with re-negotiating your lease?

You are not alone. 

The Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW has identified a growing number of childcare services who believe they are being exploited by their landlords who believe such childcare services are making so much money that they can.

Potentially unreasonable examples of aspects of lease agreements include:

• the introduction of a revenue (or higher percentage of revenue) shared with the landlord;
• a high (or higher) fee charged by the landlord if the childcare service terminates the lease agreement and relocates elsewhere;
• a high (or higher) percentage of the value of the childcare service upon closure of the business;
• excessive late fees;
• short (or shortened) period of notification for the landlord to terminate the lease agreement; and/or
• when they are in breach of NSW retail leasing laws.

If this sounds like you, ACA NSW is currently working with a well-established leasing expert who is offering his services to assist ACA NSW members. So please register your interest below or via this link should you need their help.

Thank you.
