Rental Agreement
Illinois
Rent agreement/lease
Hello, I signed a lease for a commercial rental. The owner said that the previous tenant was there for over 20 years and he needed to fix the place. We signed the lease and gave him the deposit, he said that upon completion of the build out he was going to hand us the keys. I needed to buy doors and the handles. I gave him $1500. He said that he would safe the receipts. The build out is completed and he gives me a bill of 5k for things that he "had" to do. He said that the vents were too old, that he had to change the heater and other stuff. When I said no because I was not expecting to pay anything, he sends me a new bill for 12k because I was being unappreciated of the work he did. I need to know my options since I don't have the keys yet and I won't pay something that I didn't know it was needed. Thank you!

It depends on if there was a written agreement or a verbal agreement for your options. Sending a demand letter from an attorney followed by negotiations could help resolve the problem and avoid litigation. If the landlord remains unreasonable then you will likely have to file a lawsuit.

Can the tenant sublease the property to another business?
I am a business owner and I am looking to rent a commercial space for my business. I am considering signing a commercial lease with the landlord, but I am concerned about my ability to sublease the property to another business. I am trying to determine whether this is an option that is available to me and what the implications would be.
Joseph M.
In Massachusetts, a commercial tenant can sublet or even fully assign the unit to a third party - UNLESS there is a specific prohibition in the current lease. However, even if there is such a prohibition, it might still be worth speaking to the landlord about since it might be mutually beneficial.

Can the tenant make changes to the property's signage?
I am looking to rent a commercial property for my business and have recently come across a potential property. The lease agreement states that the tenant is not allowed to make any changes to the property's signage. I am interested in understanding if there are any exceptions to this rule and if the tenant can make changes to the signage.
Michael C.
Standard commercial lease template includes language about the nature and extent of modifications tenants can make to a property. In this instance, there's no legal or regulatory exception that is going to protect you from a restriction in the lease. Your best bet is to negotiate directly with the landlord for a modification to the lease terms.

Purchase Agreement
Washington
Are purchase agreements confidential?
I recently made an offer to purchase a commercial property and the seller has asked me to sign a purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with the terms of the agreement and want to make sure that it is kept confidential. I am concerned about the potential for the details of the purchase agreement to be publicly disclosed and want to know if purchase agreements are confidential.
Merry A.
I hope that you used the assistance of a WA State commercial real estate attorney to advise you in the writing and presentation of your offer to purchase a commercial property, as these can be extremely complicated. (Or, at the very least, I hope you were represented by an experienced and knowledgeable buyer's agent). To my knowledge, this type of PSA agreement is not required to be confidential unless you included that language in your offer. Please be aware that once the sale closes, the amount of the purchase price will be public information, in county records.

Can the tenant assign the lease to another business?
I am a business owner who recently signed a commercial lease for a retail space. I was recently approached by another business who is interested in taking over my lease, and I am wondering if I am able to assign the lease to them. I am looking to understand the legal implications of assigning the lease, as well as any other requirements or restrictions I should be aware of.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
