Commercial & Residential Lease Agreements in Jamaica West Indies

Whether it’s a commercial or residential lease, having a well-drafted agreement is key to avoiding disputes and protecting everyone involved. At Conveyance Lawyers Ja, we prepare customised leases that match each client’s specific needs. Our legal team ensures both landlords and tenants get strong, clear legal protection — all fully aligned with the Jamaican real estate market.

Tenacy Agreements

We give clients clear, practical advice on setting the right lease length, how renewals should work, and rent adjustment clauses that suit each property — whether it’s a busy commercial space or a quiet family home.

Another key service we offer is reviewing existing lease agreements. Our lawyers go through the fine print with care, checking for fairness, compliance with Jamaican law, and spotting any hidden risks. If something needs fixing, we’ll recommend the right changes to protect your interests.

We’re also here when things go wrong. From handling disputes to properly ending a lease, our team guides clients through it all — whether that means negotiation, mediation, or, if needed, taking legal action in court.

And when it comes to ending leases the right way under Jamaican law, we make sure every step is legally sound. From signing day to move-out day, we help clients manage their lease with confidence and clarity.

This service is for properties like condos or townhouses where individual units are owned separately (strata titles) but share common areas. Our lawyers help owners understand the rules and regulations (strata plans) that outline their shared rights and responsibilities.

Modification or Discharge of Restrictive Covenants

Restrictive covenants are legal rules tied to a property’s title that control how it can be used or built upon, like limits on building size or type. If these rules are broken, or if you want to change them, our lawyers can help, but it’s a difficult process that can be costly and time-consuming

Lost Land Title Applications

When your Certificate of Title – the crucial document proving you own your property in Jamaica – goes missing, we’re here to guide you through the precise legal steps to apply for a new one, making the stringent process as smooth as possible.

Notation of Death on Title & Transfer by Transmission

When a property owner in Jamaica passes away, updating the property title quickly and accurately is super important because of succession law. We handle all the legal steps to get the death officially noted on the title and make sure the property gets transferred to the right beneficiaries or personal representatives.

Estate Planning & Administration (Property-Related)

Beyond just handling property transfers after someone has passed, our real estate lawyers also help with planning ahead. This means we can assist you in creating your will so you can clearly lay out exactly how your properties and other assets should be shared after you’re gone.

Tailored Lease Agreements for Business and Home

For commercial clients, we prepare carefully tailored lease agreements that reflect the unique needs of running a business. This includes fit-out periods, break clauses, permitted use terms, and clear responsibilities for maintenance and repairs — all designed to support smooth operations from day one.

We know commercial leases often come with big financial commitments and detailed operational needs. That’s why we focus on creating agreements that support your goals while keeping legal risks low and spelling out every financial and operational detail clearly.

For residential landlords, we provide advice on following the Jamaican Rent Restriction Act and other housing rules. This includes how to handle security deposits, what notice to give for rent changes or termination, and how to deal with tenant issues in a lawful and effective way.

And for tenants, we offer full reviews of lease agreements before anything’s signed. We break down the legal terms so you know your rights, understand your responsibilities, and avoid unfair clauses that could lead to trouble later on.
