We handle projects for large-scale commercial and industrial clients as well as for small-business owners leasing office, retail, restaurant, warehouse and industrial property.
Considerations For Commercial Landlords And Tenants
Lessees (tenants) need to ensure that property can be used for the intended purpose of the business, and they need to know that there are enforceable remedies available if the lease goes south for any reason. Can you negotiate landlord remedies? What if services and repairs are not provided? Do you have bargaining power? If your business conditions change, can you sublet the property or assign the lease to a third party? Are you protected against a confession of judgment?
Lessors (landlords) need to ensure they understand tenants' businesses to the point that they know whether tenants are violating lease terms concerning legal use of the property. They need to have enforceable legal remedies in place in case tenants do not pay utility bills or rent and in case tenants damage the property. Do you have a confession of judgment provision in your lease agreements? Is the confession of judgment provision up to date?
We handle lease negotiations and lease dispute resolution between lessees and lessors, and our attorneys bring over 70 years of combined legal experience to the table. There are many more considerations in need of drafting and review in all types of real property leasing circumstances, and getting a detail-oriented, dependable lawyer in your corner is a must to maintain your business and mitigate litigation risks.
