Commercial Tenants need and deserve legal protection. Your Landlord has used a lawyer to draft the commercial lease and provide advice on everything from construction or acquisition of the building to the Landlord's policies on dealing with security deposits and evictions.
Unlike in the area of residential Landlord-Tenant law, most states do not afford Commercial Tenants much protection by statute. I have represented a number of small business owners just like you, who want to succeed and who deserve legal advice regarding:
Negotiating Commercial Lease Terms such as:
Price
Late Payment Penalties
Default Consequences such as Eviction and Landlord's Duty to Re-Rent and Mitigate
Common Area Charges (CAM)
Security Deposit Return
Redesign of Commercial Space
Re-Negotiating Commercial Leases
Landlord's Failure to Maintain the Property
Purchasing the Building You are Currently Renting
If you are a Commercial Tenant, it is best to engage a lawyer prior to signing a commercial lease. If you need advice regarding these or other matters, please do not hesitate to contact medirectly if I can be of any help.
