Real Estate
Commercial Lease
Florida
What's permitted alterations in a commercial lease?
I am a small business owner looking to rent a commercial space for the first time. I am considering signing a commercial lease and want to know what kind of alterations are allowed in the agreement. I would like to avoid any potential legal issues or disputes in the future by clarifying what is permitted before signing the lease.
Moss S.
Usually permitted alterations are cosmetic, and non-structural in nature. Often times the Landlord will require the Tenant to submit plans, or in the alternative the lease will describe the fit and finish that would be allowed.

What's the parking situation in a commercial lease?
I am currently in the process of signing a commercial lease for a retail store and I need to know the parking situation that is included in the lease. I have read through the lease and I'm not sure if the parking is included or if I have to arrange it myself. I need to know if I will be able to provide adequate parking for my customers and employees.
Diane D.
The only way to answer this question is to have an attorney read the lease.

Building Lease
Florida
Can a building lease transfer to another party?
I am a tenant of a building in a commercial area. I recently received an offer from another party to take over my lease, and I am wondering if this is possible. I need to know if the lease can be transferred to the other party, and if so, what the process would be. I am also interested in understanding any potential legal implications of this transfer, as well as any other considerations I should take into account before making a decision.
Linda W.
If the lease does not indicate in writing that it is assignable, without any legal implications, you would need the permission of the landlord/owner. And if agreeable, then they would need to be an assignment of lease.

Deed
I am on a deed with my brother. He took a loan out on the home and fallen behind on payments. What can I do to protect my half of the deed and keep from losing our home.
Jason Q.
A joint owner of real estate can generally encumber the property, such as by mortgaging their interest, without permission of the other joint owner. If your brother falls behind on payments, the lender could foreclose on his interest in the property. They could then probably force a sale of the property in an action for partition. To prevent this, one option would be to pay off or assume the loan and buy out your brother's interest in the real estate. Since he is behind on his loan, you could probably drive a pretty hard bargain. If you do nothing, the lender could eventually take your brother's interest in the property and force a sale.

Quitclaim deed
My wife, my father and myself are co-owners of a property (condo) in Lauderdale Lakes Florida. We would like to make a quitclaim deed to transfer full ownership to my wife and myself.
T. Phillip B.
That should work assuming your father isn't responsible on any note associated with the property. If there is a mortgage and note, you'll want to talk with the lender first.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
