Commercial Lease Agreements Attorney
Skilled Representation in Real Estate Leasing Negotiations and Disputes
Entry into a lease for commercial property, as either a landlord or tenant, is a step that can be significant from both financial and overall business perspectives. Working with an attorney who understands your goals and concerns is essential to avoiding unfavorable lease terms and costly disputes.
A New York commercial lease agreements attorney at J&G Law will represent your interests based on extensive knowledge of available options and frequent sources of dispute. In reviewing and negotiating a lease or advocating for you in a lease dispute, we will look beyond the basic considerations of rent, lease term, and acceptable use to other critical issues such as:
- Responsibility for common area maintenance (CAM) charges for expenses such as snowplowing, landscaping, taxes, and utilities
- Distinguishing between repairs and maintenance, and capital improvements
- Notice requirements, options, and remedies associated with maintenance needs and alleged defaults
- Formulas for rent increases, such as those based on the consumer price index or other methodology
- Business entity vs. personal liability for nonpayment of rent, property damage, and alleged lease violations
- Tenant rights to assign a lease or sublease, including the applicable standard for review
- Reimbursement amounts and methods for repairs borne by a tenant
Commercial property leases are typically dense, complex documents packed with highly specific legal language. Landlord and tenant objectives are naturally opposite in some areas, and educated issue spotting prior to signing can be extremely valuable. When a dispute arises, your access to qualified legal representation can make all the difference.
