Is a Heads of Agreement binding?
Usually, a Heads of Agreement for a commercial lease is an informal document and is not binding. The purpose of this type of agreement is to outline the proposed terms of a lease. However, if the agreement meets the criteria to be considered a contract, then it may be binding.
