Commercial Landlord and Tenant
Commercial landlord and tenant law (office, retail, industrial):
As a commercial landlord, you reasonably expect that the people to whom you lease your property will be not only tenants, but caretakers as well. Landlord / tenant disputes occur because you expect that tenants will:
- Comply with all the terms of the lease
- Pay the agreed rent in full and in a timely fashion
- Not cause unreasonable damage to the property
- Communicate with you on a regular basis about the state of the property
- Report maintenance problems early before they grow
- Allow visits for inspection of the property
Sometimes tenants do not follow these reasonable expectations for their behavior, and the consequences for you and your property can be expensive.
If you are a commercial property landlord, our lawyers can help you in all phases of your relationship with your tenants, including:
- Writing an enforceable lease
- Preventing or monitoring damage to the property
- Getting rent on time
- Avoiding rent lost to repair-and-deduct actions
- Evicting troublesome tenants
- Assembling documentary evidence in defense or prosecution of a civil trial over property damage
- Protecting yourself against code violation charges
In any of these cases, not consulting with a commercial real estate lawyer about landlord / tenant agreements & disputes can lead to major errors that leave you without recourse in the event of serious damage to your property.
