RETAIL LEASES ACT 1994 - SECT 52

52 Advertising and promotion requirements

A provision in a retail shop lease is void to the extent that it requires the lessee to undertake any advertising or promotion of the lessee's business. This section does not apply to a provision in a lease that requires any payment to the lessor for advertising and promotion costs incurred or to be incurred by the lessor.

Note : This does not prevent a lessee deciding to make an additional contribution towards advertising and promotion. It is good leasing practice for a lessor to require all lessees in the shopping centre to contribute towards advertising and promotion costs for the centre.
