What Is a Rent Review?

A rent review is a process within a commercial lease that allows the rent to be reassessed at predetermined intervals. The review mechanism and timing are set out in the original lease agreement.
Rent reviews ensure that rental values remain aligned with prevailing market conditions and reflect the terms, use, and condition of the property.
