Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Real Estate

Finance Lease

Georgia

Asked on Mar 10, 2025

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.

Answered Apr 8, 2025

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

Commercial Lease

Maryland

Asked on Apr 27, 2023

What are the notice requirements for terminating the lease?

I am a business owner who recently signed a commercial lease for a property. I am looking to terminate the lease but am unsure of the notice requirements I must adhere to in order to do so. I would like to know what the notice requirements are for terminating the lease so that I can ensure I do not breach the terms of the lease.

Michael C.

Answered Jun 1, 2023

The notice requirements for terminating a commercial lease in Maryland are going to vary depending on the specific terms of your lease agreement. Please read and refer to your lease. If your lease is month to month, then it's likely you'll have to provide at least 30 days notice. If your lease is for a longer term (6 to 12 months), it's likely you'll have to provide at least 90 days notice, and may need to pay damages for breach of the lease agreement.

Commercial Lease

Massachusetts

Asked on Apr 24, 2023

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.

Answered May 12, 2023

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.

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.
