Commercial Leases

Commercial Leases Lawyer in Phoenix

Are Renting a Commercial Property?

Unlike residential leases, there are no standard commercial lease forms or consumer protection laws to protect you in case of unwitting errors. As a result commercial leases need to be carefully entered into. If the other side presents you an already prepared lease agreement, it is best to have it reviewed by a real estate law lawyer in Phoenix to advise you the significance of the terms and help you to negotiate for modifications that suit your needs.

Commercial Leases

It is important to have commercial leases in writing and not to rely on oral promises. Here are some of the key provisions in a commercial lease:

  • Length of the Lease: The lease should specify the term the renter is agreeing to. A small business renter needs to be careful to limit exposure. Given the uncertainty of small retail business, it is desirable to have conditions which will allow early termination.
  • Rent: The amount and due dates are key terms.
  • Change of Conditions: The small business owner needs flexibility in case of interruption of business. Street construction or storms may bring business to a halt making it hard to pay rent.
  • Protection against Competition: If the landlord rents to a competing business, the tenant's business will suffer. The tenant needs the option to relocate.
  • Maintenance of Premises: It needs to be clearly laid out who pays for plumbing, roof leaks and other maintenance. A small business owner does not have the margin to afford huge bills.
  • Option to Renew: The business owner needs a guarantee of being able to continue in an established location.
