Commission will be calculated on gross rentals. Where municipal rates and taxes and operational recoveries are a defined amount, whether included in the rental amount composition or separately stated, the commission calculated will be based on the rental figure excluding such recoveries.

We reserve the right to pay commission invoices in two or three equal monthly installments. We also reserve the right to a pro-rata reduction in the commission calculation and amount payable, in the event that the Tenant commits any breach, in terms of the Agreement of Lease, during the first six months of the initial Lease period.
