Commercial Lease
California
What is a commercial lease agreement and how does it work?
I am a business owner interested in renting a commercial space for my business. I am trying to understand the details of a commercial lease agreement and how it works so I can make an informed decision about whether or not to sign a lease. I am looking for information about the terms, conditions, and other relevant details that could affect my business.
MICHAEL B.
A commercial lease agreement sets out the parameters of the space to be leased, including a description of the premises, an allocation of responsibilities for janitorial services, electrical services, tenant improvements, insurance requirements, payment of rent and payment of common area expenses, parking for employees and visitors, telephone and telecommunication services and many other issues.

How is the rent determined in a commercial lease agreement?
I am a small business owner looking to rent a space for my business. I am currently in negotiations with the landlord of a commercial property and we are discussing the terms of the lease agreement. We have reached a point where we need to discuss the rent and how it will be determined. I need to understand more about how rent is determined in commercial leases so that I can negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement.
N'kia N.
In North Carolina, commercial rent is commonly calculated as a set dollar amount per square foot. This dollar amount is usually based on factors like location, age, condition, accessibility, and amenities. However, there is no requirement for rent to be determined this way. Unlike a residential lease agreement, the terms of a commercial lease agreement can be almost anything that the parties mutually agree to. As a word of caution, in North Carolina, commercial tenants do not have the same degree of legal protections as residential tenants. For just one example, a tenant who wishes to terminate a commercial lease early may be responsible for the entire remainder of the rent unless the lease agreement says otherwise.

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.

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!
Mathew K.
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.

Finance Lease
Georgia
What are the legal implications of entering into a finance lease agreement?
I am considering entering into a finance lease agreement for a commercial property, and I would like to understand the legal implications before making a decision. I have been approached by a leasing company that is offering favorable terms, such as lower upfront costs and fixed monthly payments, but I am uncertain about the potential risks and responsibilities involved. I want to ensure that I am fully aware of my legal obligations and rights under a finance lease agreement before proceeding.
Jerome L.
Hi there, A finance lease agreement can be a practical way to acquire commercial property or equipment with lower upfront costs and fixed payments—but it comes with specific legal obligations and long-term commitments that you should fully understand before signing. Here are the key legal implications to consider: Legal Considerations in a Finance Lease Agreement: Binding Long-Term Obligation: A finance lease is typically non-cancellable during the lease term, meaning you are legally obligated to make payments for the entire duration, even if you no longer need the property. Ownership vs. Use: You do not own the property under a finance lease. You are leasing it for an extended period, often with an option to purchase at the end. However, all the risks and responsibilities of ownership—like maintenance, insurance, and taxes—may still fall on you. Lessor’s Ownership Rights: The leasing company retains title to the property during the lease term. If you default, they typically have the right to repossess the property and pursue you for any remaining balance. Fixed Monthly Payments (But Watch for Hidden Costs): While the fixed payments seem attractive, be sure to review: Interest rates Late fees or penalties Additional service charges or fees tied to property upkeep End-of-Term Options: Understand your rights at the end of the lease: Can you buy the property? Are there residual value payments? Will you owe fees for wear-and-tear or restoration? Termination & Default Clauses: Read the fine print on what constitutes default and whether the lessor can accelerate payments or take legal action if you miss a payment. Impact on Financial Statements: A finance lease may appear as a liability on your balance sheet, depending on how the lease is structured. It’s wise to consult with an accountant on this point too. Before moving forward, I highly recommend having the lease agreement reviewed by an attorney. This will ensure the terms are fair, your risks are understood, and you are fully protected. If you would like assistance reviewing or negotiating the terms of your finance lease, I am happy to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Commercial Lease & Business Contracts Attorney
