Commercial Lease
Maryland
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.
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.)

Construction Agreement
Texas
Can a construction contractor terminate a construction agreement without cause?
I recently entered into a construction agreement with a contractor to renovate my commercial property. However, the contractor has been consistently behind schedule and the quality of work has been subpar. I am concerned about the progress of the project and the contractor's ability to complete it satisfactorily. I would like to know if the contractor has the right to terminate the construction agreement without cause, or if I have any legal recourse to hold them accountable for their performance and potentially terminate the agreement myself.
Lorraine C.
That situation sounds frustrating, to be sure. The termination rights of both parties should have been clearly defined in the construction agreement. It would be best for you to have an experienced transactional attorney review the contract terms and discuss the issues you are having so that you can receive advice specific to your situation. Regardless, I highly recommend that you document any quality of work or performance issues in writing and with pictures, if applicable. That way, if you do decide to terminate the contract later (with an attorney's guidance), you will have the proof you may need to support your claim.

Commercial Lease
North Carolina
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.

Building Lease
Arizona
Can a landlord increase the rent on a commercial building lease without providing notice or justification?
I have been leasing a commercial building for my business for the past three years, and recently, my landlord informed me of a significant increase in the monthly rent. However, there was no prior notice or explanation given for this sudden increase, and I am concerned about the legality of such action. I want to know if the landlord has the right to raise the rent without providing any notice or justification, and what options I have to address this issue if it is indeed unfair or unlawful.
David U.
In a vacuum, a landlord should not have a unilateral right to raise rent. A landlord may have the right to raise rents periodically, pursuant to the lease document. It is very much a contract issue. It depends on the exact wording of the lease agreement. The lease agreement will also detail the requirements for valid notification concerning the agreement. My experience over 25 years of practice is that most building lease agreements expressly provide for base rent to increase each year. A court will enforce most reasonable rental, escalation, clauses, and lease agreements. If there is no obvious language in the lease, the question becomes whether rental increase is implied under the wording of the document or an amendment to it. At the risk of being repetitive, it depends on what the lease says, if anything at all.

Financing Agreement
New York
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.
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.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
