October 21, 2026 - Beyond the Rent: Understanding Common Traps in Your Commercial Lease

A commercial lease is often one of the most significant contracts a business owner will sign. Yet many tenants enter into these long-term commitments without fully understanding the risks, obligations, and hidden pitfalls that may arise once the lease is signed.
 
Join us for an upcoming Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade Business Growth Academy session featuring Lucky Johal, an associate in Fasken's Real Estate Group, for a practical overview of the key issues tenants should consider before committing. Lucky will walk through the typical structure of a landlord's standard form of lease, explain the rights and protections commonly afforded to landlords, and highlight terms that tenants should carefully review, negotiate, or resist. 

Attendees will gain a better understanding of common leasing pitfalls and practical strategies for protecting their interests and their business.
