Entry into a lease of 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 may be essential to avoiding unfavorable lease terms and costly disputes.

A New York commercial lease agreements lawyer at J&G, LLP, 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:

• Specific contractual distinctions between maintenance and capital improvements
• Notice requirements, options and remedies associated with maintenance needs and other issues
• Specific guidelines or parameters governing rent increases, such as those based on the consumer price index (CPI) or another methodology
• Business entity vs. personal liability for nonpayment of rent, property damage and various lease violations
• Tenant rights to assign a lease or sublease, including the applicable standard for review
• Reimbursement amounts and methods for infrastructure repairs borne by a tenant
• A range of other potential operational and landlord-tenant relationship issues that can determine the ongoing success and benefits of a commercial lease agreement
