Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Commercial Lease
Ohio
Can a landlord terminate a commercial lease early?
I have been running a small retail business for the past two years in a commercial space rented under a 5-year lease agreement. However, due to unforeseen financial difficulties, my business is struggling to stay afloat and I may need to close down. I have heard rumors that my landlord has the right to terminate the lease early, and I want to know if this is true and what my options are in such a situation.
Michelle M.
The answer to your question is contained in the lease. All rights and obligations of parties to a commercial lease are controlled by and provided for within the lease. If your lease provides for early termination by the landlord, then the landlord can exercise that option. If it doesn't provide for early termination and you are in compliance with the lease, then they can't terminate early (at least not without your consent). You should retain a local attorney who can review the lease and provide advice concerning your specific situation. Best of luck!
Real Estate
Purchase and Sale Agreement
California
When to sign a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and need to know when I should sign the purchase and sale agreement. I have been given an offer from the seller and have been told that I need to sign the agreement in order to move forward with the purchase. I am concerned about signing the agreement too soon and have questions about the timing and what risks I may be taking if I sign before I am sure I am ready.
Myrna L.
If you are not ready to buy a property, it is only fair not to waste sellers’ time who are trying to sell their property. If, however, you are ready to buy a property but is concerned about unforeseeable risks, you can mitigate or eliminate your risks by spelling out contingencies in your Purchase and Sales Agreement. If the conditions or contingencies are not met, you do not have to go through with the deal.

Residential Lease Agreement
Ohio
Security deposits in residential lease agreement?
I recently signed a residential lease agreement for an apartment. I was informed that I would need to pay a security deposit as part of the agreement. I am trying to understand what the security deposit covers and what happens to the deposit at the end of the lease agreement. I want to make sure I am fully aware of my rights and obligations regarding this security deposit.
Georgie A.
A security deposit in a residential lease serves the following key purposes: 1. Property Protection: It covers damage or excessive wear and tear to the rental property during the tenant's stay. 2. Rent Arrears: It can be used to cover unpaid rent or other financial obligations if the tenant fails to pay rent. 3. Tenant Responsibility: It encourages tenants to take care of the property and fulfill lease obligations. 4. Landlord's Peace of Mind: It acts as insurance for landlords against potential losses. 5. Legal Compliance: Landlords must follow specific laws for holding and returning deposits. 6. Tenant Refund: Tenants get the deposit back if they meet lease terms, encouraging compliance. 7. Understanding deposit terms and local regulations is crucial to prevent disputes.

Fee Retainer Agreement
New York
Can you explain the purpose and terms of a Fee Retainer Agreement?
I am currently in the process of hiring a lawyer for a legal matter and have been presented with a Fee Retainer Agreement. While I understand that this document outlines the lawyer's fees and payment terms, I would like a thorough explanation of its purpose and the specific terms I should be aware of. I want to ensure that I fully understand the financial obligations and protections provided by this agreement before proceeding with legal representation.
Arthur S.
In many states, e.g. New York, Fee Retainer agreements are required by law before any legal services can be performed. As you have indicated, the base purpose of a retainer agreement is to set forth a clear description of the scope of legal services to be performed and the fees and disbursements payable in connection with the rendering of such services. The retainer agreement should also set forth the rights of both client and attorney in the event a dispute arises between them and the methodology for resolving such dispute, e.g. arbitration vs lawsuit. The retainer agreement should also set forth the right of the client to terminate, as well as the right of the attorney to withdraw from, the attorney/client relationship.

Agreement To Sell Real Estate
Pennsylvania
Acceptance of residential Real Estate Offer in Pennsylvania
Selling Agent told our Buyers Agent (i am buyer) that there was another buyer, that they would do highest & best / Best and Final offers by Sat NOON time. We provided our best and final offer by Sat at NOON. Sunday approx. 3PM the sellers agent told our buyers agent that the sellers have selected your buyers offer, it was due to removing the inspection contingency and being within 5K of the other bidder, we were very excited. We do not have a conter-signed PA real estate contract, we have an email note from the seller's agent representing the seller to our buyers agent indicating the the seller has accepted your buyers offer. My Question: the acceptance was in writing (email) and signed by sender of email - Sellers agent, specifically indicating they accepted our offer which was signed and in writing. Subsequently the sellers agent indicated when they did not sign our offer, that since they had not signed and had not signed the specific contract, that they were accepting a 2nd offer at a higher price. Any hope of wining based on the acceptance of our offer was first, it was in writing (email) and signed by sellers agent?
Angela H.
The agent’s email will not be enough. You will need the agreement signed by the sellers, as they are the contracting party.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
