Duration: Generally 6+6 years for commercial activities and 9+9 years for hotels and theaters.
Rent and updates: Determination of the amount and methods of ISTAT adjustment.
Obligations and rights of the parties: Clauses on maintenance, early termination, subletting and termination.
Security deposit and guarantees: Definition of the amounts to protect the lessor.
