Green lease provisions are not mandatory in the Czech Republic. That said, green leases have been growing in popularity, with basic and rather general green clauses appearing the most often.
Large private sector landlords and their tenants regularly include provisions in leases to reflect their own internal green corporate strategies or ambitions to obtain or maintain a sustainability certification. The clauses most often prescribe basic sustainability practices and collection of and reporting on data; detailed mandatory regimes requiring measurable results or material contractual sanctions for nonobservance remain rather rare. Alternatively, green lease terms and sustainability commitments are seen attached in the form of a separate annex. In addition, landlords issuing house rules for larger commercial sites that include certain environmentally friendly language is largely considered market standard.
In addition, there are organizations, such as the Czech Green Building Council, a member organization of the World Green Building Council, supporting green practices in real estate. For its part, the Czech Green Building Council integrates companies and associations from various economic sectors related to the real estate market and the construction development industry.
