Why a Lawyer Should Review Your Commercial Lease Agreement
Before you sign a commercial store lease agreement, you should consider having a New York City business lawyer review it and propose any necessary changes to protect your interests.
Having a lawyer review your lease can offer such benefits as:
- Ensuring the agreement is not skewed in the landlord’s favor.
- Identifying and correcting any inaccuracies regarding square footage, rent, fees, terms, and more.
- Making sure you are not subjected to unfair or strange common area maintenance fees.
- Prohibiting your landlord from renting to competitors.
- Prohibiting your landlord from renting to tenants who would ruin or harm your business.
- Showing your landlord that you are exercising due diligence and will not be taken advantage of.
- Showing your landlord you are organized and serious about maintaining your lease.
- Protecting personal guarantees, the absence of which would allow your landlord to go after your personal assets in the event of a dispute.
- A lawyer may be able to negotiate better terms on your behalf.
