Standard commercial leases in Slovakia have no statutory restrictions on the size or handling of security deposits. This area is dictated by freedom of contract.
Landlords typically demand a deposit equivalent to three to six months of gross rent. In addition to cash deposits, tenants frequently provide bank guarantees or corporate guarantees, especially for large institutional leases.
