Common questions

How long does an Italian commercial lease last, and when can notice be given?
At least six years, nine for hotels; if the contract states a shorter term, the legal term applies instead, except for temporary activities. At expiry the contract renews for six years at a time unless either party gives notice by registered letter at least twelve months before. At the first expiry the landlord can refuse only on the grounds in art. 29 of Law 392/1978, stated in the notice; at the second, notice alone is enough. The tenant may leave for serious reasons on six months' notice and, if the contract allows, freely.
When is the goodwill indemnity due on an Italian commercial lease?
When the business deals directly with the public of users and consumers and the lease ends for a reason other than the tenant's breach, notice or withdrawal, or an insolvency procedure. It equals eighteen months of the last rent (twenty-one for hotels), and an eviction cannot be enforced until it is paid. Among the cases excluded by art. 35 of Law 392/1978 are professional and temporary activities. A waiver written into the lease in advance is void.
How is an Italian commercial lease registered, and what does it cost?
The contract is registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate within 30 days of signing, using form RLI, which the Agenzia provides free, online too. Registration tax is 2 per cent of the annual rent, at least €67 in the first year, or 1 per cent where a business or professional lets premises used for business; stamp duty is also due, and stamp and registration costs are split equally between the parties; the flat-rate cedolare secca does not apply to commercial premises. The document has the landlord register it and give the tenant the receipt.
Can the rent of a shop let in Italy be indexed at 100 per cent of ISTAT?
No, if the lease runs for six years, the legal minimum: the annual update may not exceed 75 per cent of the change in ISTAT's consumer price index for blue- and white-collar households, and a 100 per cent clause is void. The update is due only if the landlord asks for it in writing; the contract makes it run from the month after the request. The parties are free only in leases longer than the minimum term.
