Commercial Lease – Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial leases aren’t regulated like residential ones. There are fewer built-in protections for tenants, and almost everything is negotiable. That’s why reviewing every term matters.
Do I need a lawyer to sign a lease for my business?
It’s not required, but it’s strongly recommended—especially for first-time business owners or long-term leases. One bad clause can cost thousands or limit how you use the space.
What’s a triple net (NNN) lease?
It means the tenant pays base rent plus property taxes, insurance & maintenance. These charges can add up fast—so we review the lease carefully to understand what you’ll actually pay.
What should I look out for as a tenant?
Common red flags include vague CAM charges, unclear repair responsibilities, restrictions on signage or hours, and automatic renewals. We’ll help you spot them and negotiate fairer terms.
Can I assign or sublease my space later?
Only if your lease allows it. We’ll check for assignment clauses and help you negotiate flexibility if your business needs change.
Do landlords need a lawyer to draft a lease?
Yes—especially if you want it enforceable. Using a copied lease from another deal (or something generic from the internet) can leave you exposed to disputes, liability, or unenforceable terms.
Yes. We can review your lease, advise you on your rights, and suggest next steps if there's a dispute or change in circumstances.
