neutral  Tony M: Although that's literally the right meaning, I think it would be less than ideal here, since it could introduce an unintended tendency to ambiguity; and the 'once' suggests a later rather than earlier event, if you see what I mean?

immediately the lease comes into effect


Explanation:
I think this would be a more natural way of expressing it in EN, and the use of 'immediately' emphasizes the key point being made — that the rent doesn't have to be paid straight away, but the charges do.

agree  writeaway: not sure where you get your US versions. upon commencement of the lease is the standard expression of both sides of the pond. don't really understand the problem in any case. not something a bilingual person would have to look up
