Commercial Building Lease

California

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

What's CAM charge in a commercial lease?

I am currently negotiating a commercial lease for a property where I plan to operate my business. As part of the negotiation process, the landlord has mentioned the concept of a CAM (Common Area Maintenance) charge, which I am unfamiliar with. I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand what a CAM charge is, what it covers, and what my responsibilities as a tenant would be in relation to this charge.

Paul S.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

CAM charges are for common area maintenance. For example, in an office building, CAM charges are for maintaining the lobby, elevators, corridors, and outside areas (such as the parking lot). If you are looking at renting a space, the landlord should be able to provide you with CAM numbers for that space for the past several years, so you know what to expect.

Quitclaim Deed

Ohio

Asked on Oct 3, 2023

Precautions before signing a quitclaim deed?

I am a homeowner and I am in the process of selling my house. My buyer has requested that I sign a quitclaim deed. I understand that this deed will transfer my interest in the property, but I want to understand the legal precautions I should take before signing this document. I want to make sure that I am fully protected and do not have any legal liabilities after signing the quitclaim deed.

Jeffrey K.

Answered Oct 6, 2023

A quitclaim deed conveys the sellers ownership interest in the property to the buyer with no guarantees of clear title to the property. In contrast, a warranty deed guarantees to the buyer that the seller holds clear title to the property. From a seller’s perspective a quitclaim deed is preferable in that the seller is not providing a warranty of clear title to the buyer. A warranty deed protects the buyer against title defects and is thus preferable to the buyer. If your buyer is getting a owner’s policy of title insurance, that would be sufficient to protect the buyer from defects in title.

Property Deed

Georgia

Asked on Feb 18, 2022

What happens when a mortgaged house was built on the wrong land?

We have 4 total lots, two in my fathers name and the other two in my grandfather’s name. The builder built my fathers house on my grandfather’s land. I wasn’t aware of this years ago until My father passed away. Who or How do we fix this problem?

Meghan T.

Answered Mar 11, 2022

Hello. There are multiple solutions to this problem. The simplest solution would be for your grandfather (or whoever the current owner is) to deed the property over to your father's heirs. They could also switch parcels of land. Depending on how long ago the home was built, the owner of the house could potentially have a right to the property via an adverse possession. Feel free to contact me to discuss this matter in more detail. - Meghan Thomas, Esq.

Commercial Lease

California

Asked on Apr 21, 2023

What's the property description in a commercial lease?

I am a small business owner who is looking to lease a property for my business. I am currently reviewing a commercial lease and am trying to understand what is included in the property description in the lease. I am hoping to gain more clarity on what the property description entails and how it affects my business.

Gagandeep K.

Answered May 24, 2023

A property description in a commercial lease has to sufficiently identify the extent and boundaries of the property being leased. For example, it can be described by a map reference or by metes and bounds, or include a description such as "that certain building on the south-westerly corner of California and Larkin Streets." The commercial lease will include defined terms such as "Building," "Property," and "Premises". The defined terms define/describe the "Property" on which the "Building" is located which has the "Premises"/"Space" that is being leased. A sample definition of is Property Description in a Commercial Lease: ""Property" means the real property on which the Building is located together with the Building and all appurtenant fixtures and personal property of Landlord used in the operation of the Building and/or the Property, and any other improvements now existing or hereafter constructed thereon[, including the parking lot, walkways, and landscaped ground as depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit [LETTER]]."

Building Lease

Florida

Asked on Nov 20, 2023

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.

Answered Dec 8, 2023

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.
