Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Real Estate

Net Lease

Maryland

Asked on May 19, 2025

Is the landlord responsible for maintenance and repairs in a net lease agreement?

I recently signed a net lease agreement for a commercial property, and I am unsure about the extent of my responsibilities as a tenant when it comes to maintenance and repairs. The lease states that I am responsible for all operating expenses, but I want to clarify if this includes regular maintenance and repairs, or if those obligations fall on the landlord. I want to understand my rights and obligations before I proceed with any costly repairs or maintenance tasks.

Sara S.

Answered Jun 17, 2025

Hi, Your responsibilities as a tenant will be identified in the lease. Such responsibilities will probably include some maintenance and repairs while the landlord is likely responsible for structural soundness, essential services and common area maintenance of the property. Reviewing the lease with a qualified Maryland attorney will give you much more insight.

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?

Financing Agreement

New York

Asked on Jul 11, 2024

What legal considerations should I be aware of when engaging in cross-border financing?

I am a business owner based in the United States, and I am exploring opportunities to expand my operations into other countries. As part of this expansion, I am considering obtaining financing from international lenders or investors. However, I am unsure about the legal implications and potential challenges associated with cross-border financing. I am particularly interested in understanding the regulatory frameworks, tax implications, and any potential risks that I should be aware of before proceeding with such financing arrangements.

Arthur S.

Answered Jul 23, 2024

The answer to this question is too voluminous for this format. The governing laws, rules, regulations, etc of each foreign jurisdiction must be taken into consideration prior to entering into a "cross border" financing transaction. Every lender focuses on its exit strategy in the event a loan becomes a non-performing loan...and it is incumbent upon the borrower to fully explore and understand these "exit" strategies.. I would also emphasize the need to fully understand the scope of borrower's obligations under the underwriting scope and requirements of the lender, as well as the several types of loan guarantees that may be required by the lender in any such cross-border financings.

Commercial Lease

Maryland

Asked on Apr 12, 2023

Can the tenant make alterations to the property?

I am a tenant of a commercial property and I am interested in making some alterations to the property. I understand that I will need the landlord's permission to make these changes, but I am unsure of what the landlord's policy is regarding tenant alterations and what the legal implications of making such changes might be. I am looking for clarification on the tenant's rights and obligations when making alterations to a commercial lease agreement.

O.T. W.

Answered Apr 14, 2023

Hello! There should be an alterations clause in your lease that speaks to what is or isn't allowed in your space. Your safest bet is to have your landlord review and sign a letter of consent for more substantial improvements (beyond paint, mounting items, etc.)

Commercial Lease

Massachusetts

Asked on Apr 17, 2023

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.

Joseph M.

Answered May 12, 2023

In Massachusetts, a commercial tenant can assign or sublet 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.
