I am a business attorney and former in-house corporate attorney with more than a decade of experience helping companies navigate contracts, commercial relationships, day-to-day operations, and disputes. My practice includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, licenses, leases, vendor and service agreements, and other business arrangements. Licensed in Nevada, California, New York, and Texas, I also hold an Executive MBA. My goal is to serve as practical, long-term outside counsel to small businesses and entrepreneurs that value responsiveness, sound judgment, and advice grounded in commercial realities - not merely technical legal answers. I handle disputes when necessary, but much of the value I bring lies in identifying issues early, preserving business relationships, and preventing avoidable conflicts. I do not bill separately for routine phone calls. I want clients to feel comfortable calling before a small concern becomes an expensive problem, and I am always happy to have an initial conversation to see if the fit is right for you. www.linkedin.com/in/maxkelner

Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Lease

California

Asked on Apr 25, 2023

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.

Answered Jun 2, 2023

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.

Gas Station Lease Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 19, 2024

Can a gas station lease agreement be terminated if the landlord fails to provide necessary repairs and maintenance?

I am a gas station owner and have been leasing the property from a landlord for the past five years. Over time, I have noticed several issues with the property such as leaking fuel tanks, faulty pumps, and inadequate lighting. Despite multiple requests, the landlord has failed to address these issues, which are affecting the safety and profitability of my business. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the lease agreement due to the landlord's negligence and breach of their obligation to provide necessary repairs and maintenance.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 29, 2024

Your situation as a gas station owner facing maintenance and safety issues due to landlord negligence is indeed concerning. The ability to terminate a lease agreement in these circumstances depends on several factors: 1. Lease Terms: The specific provisions in your lease agreement regarding maintenance responsibilities and termination clauses are crucial. 2. Implied Warranty of Habitability: Even if not explicitly stated, there's often an implied obligation for landlords to maintain the property in a safe and usable condition. 3. Environmental Regulations: Gas stations are subject to strict environmental and safety regulations. The landlord's failure to address issues like leaking fuel tanks could be a serious violation. 4. Material Breach: The landlord's failure to make necessary repairs could constitute a material breach of the lease agreement, potentially justifying termination. 5. Notice and Opportunity to Cure: Most jurisdictions require tenants to provide formal notice and allow landlords a reasonable time to address issues before termination. Given the complexity of commercial lease agreements and the specific safety concerns in the gas station industry, it would be prudent to have a thorough legal review of your situation. As an experienced attorney, I could: 1. Review your lease agreement in detail 2. Assess the extent of the landlord's breach 3. Evaluate potential environmental and safety liabilities 4. Guide you through the proper notification process 5. Advise on options for lease termination or negotiation with the landlord Would you like to discuss your specific circumstances in more detail to determine the best course of action for protecting your business and ensuring compliance with safety regulations?

Commercial Real Estate Purchase Contract

New York

Asked on Apr 2, 2025

Can a commercial real estate purchase contract be terminated if the buyer discovers undisclosed environmental issues?

I am in the process of purchasing a commercial property and have recently discovered potential environmental issues, such as soil contamination, that were not disclosed by the seller. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the purchase contract based on this new information and what legal options I have to protect my interests and recover any damages if necessary.

Jodi B.

Answered Apr 4, 2025

I would need to see to the contract to see if you have any contingency clauses that were added for your protection before you signed the contract.

What is the average Indemnity CAP a seller should quote , for a Hospital Setup

What is the average Indemnity CAP a seller should quote , for a Hospital Setup. We are giving away our hospital of 200 beds to investor

David H.

Answered Mar 18, 2022

Hello, my name is David hatch I am a Michigan license attorney. This question has several nuances to it. An investor is taking it over, it sounds like you're giving it to them but it's also being sold? That is unclear. It would be helpful to understand what type of indemnity the investor is seeking. It really depends upon the value of the property and the risk involved in the deal. Please let me know if you like additional assistance beyond this. I can help you out. Attorney Dave.

Addendum to Lease

Washington

Asked on Jun 12, 2024

Can a landlord add an addendum to a lease without the consent of the tenant?

I recently signed a lease for a commercial property, and now the landlord wants to add an addendum to the lease that includes additional fees and requirements that were not part of our original agreement. I believe that the addendum is unfair and would put an excessive burden on my business. However, the landlord claims that they have the right to make changes to the lease without my consent. I would like to know if the landlord can legally add an addendum to the lease without my agreement, and what options I have to protect my rights as a tenant in this situation.

Merry K.

Answered Jun 18, 2024

Generally speaking, one party to any sort of contract cannot amend any sort of contract unilaterally…however, review your lease very carefully to see if you granted the landlord any such rights when you signed your contract—for example, that the landlord could increase the rent if his property taxes or insurance increases.
