Negotiating And Drafting A Clear, Effective And Favorable Commercial Lease

With fill-in-the-blank lease forms widely available on the Internet, you might be under the impression that there is little room for negotiation in commercial leasing. This is far from the case. In fact, using a cookie-cutter form is never advisable.

There are a wide variety of terms open to negotiation in commercial leases. Some options will be more favorable to you than others, but this does not necessarily mean they are automatically unfavorable to the other party. In fact, a well-drafted lease undertaken in good faith by both sides can easily become a win-win situation. Davitt Law Office, PLLC lawyer will ensure you understand all of these options, including:

  • How rent will be determined and when it will be paid
  • Rules for renewing or terminating the lease
  • Responsibility for maintenance and repairs
  • Requirements for signage, hours, employee access and parking
  • Limitations on renting to competing businesses
  • How rent or other terms can be changed over time
  • Financing issues
  • How contingencies such as property foreclosure affect the duties of the parties
  • Procedures for handling nonpayment of rent and other lease violations
