Top Reasons An Experienced Commercial Lease Lease Attorney Should Review Your Commercial Lease Agreement
1. Leases are heavily landlord-favored. They are always written by the landlord or the landlord’s attorney. It will be in the landlord’s favor but it doesn’t have to be.
2. CAMs, Common Area Maintenance Fees. This is where all tenants share in the cost of certain maintenance items as described in your lease. Making sure your share is calculated correctly and on the appropriate amount of square feet is critical.
3. Personal guarantees. Don’t do it. If you are incorporated you should never include a personal guarantee unless your credit is significantly impaired and the landlord is requiring it as an absolute condition to getting the space. Signing a personal guarantee eliminates any protection you have against someone in a lawsuit attaching your personal assets for reasons specified under the lease. Sometimes landlords are sneaky and hide these in a lease.
4. Non-compete: You want to make sure that language is in the lease that prohibits your landlord from renting to your direct competition. For some businesses this is very crucial.
These are just some of the reasons why you should have an experienced commercial lease attorney review your lease before you sign it. It is less expensive than you would think and can save you a lot of money over the term of a poorly negotiated lease. It shows the landlord you won’t be bullied and that you have other choices.
