Does renting a property count as “supply of goods or services”?
BySort of an in-depth legal question, I know, but just trying to get a quick answer.
The situation is that there are certain acts I’d like to impose on a commercial tenant, but the acts are only applicable for a contract for supply of goods or services. The exact wording is:
(2) In this Act “contract for the supply of goods or services” means—
(a) a contract of sale of goods; or
(b) a contract (other than a contract of sale of goods) by which a person does any, or any combination, of the things mentioned in subsection (3) for a consideration that is (or includes) a money consideration.
(3) Those things are—
(a) transferring or agreeing to transfer to another the property in goods;
(b) bailing or agreeing to bail goods to another by way of hire or, in Scotland, hiring or agreeing to hire goods to another; and
(c) agreeing to carry out a service.
So, is commercial property rental covered by this?

If your only renting the property to them, then it’s simply just that.
If you’re also creating a contract based on the goods or services they will provide, then yes it would apply.
