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.

Residential Lease Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 13, 2023

Renewal clauses in a residential lease agreement?

I am a tenant in a residential lease agreement and I recently received a renewal offer from my landlord. I am concerned that the renewal clause may not be in line with state law and would like to know what rights I have as a tenant in this situation. I would like to understand more about the renewal clause and how it applies to my situation.

Sarah S.

Answered Sep 15, 2023

In California, residential rental agreements are governed by a set of laws and regulations designed to protect both landlords and tenants. One crucial aspect of these agreements is the rental renewal clause, which outlines the terms and conditions for extending a lease beyond its initial term. Understanding how rental renewal clauses work under California law is essential for both landlords and tenants to ensure a smooth and legal renting experience. The Basics of Rental Renewal Clauses A rental renewal clause is a provision in a lease agreement that dictates the terms and conditions under which a lease can be extended after its initial term expires. In California, rental renewal clauses are subject to specific regulations to protect the rights of tenants. Here are some key points to keep in mind: Written Notice: Under California law, landlords must provide tenants with written notice of their intent to renew the lease or terminate the tenancy. This notice must be provided within a specific timeframe, usually 30 to 60 days before the current lease expires, depending on the length of the tenancy. Rent Increases: If a landlord intends to increase the rent upon renewal, they must follow the state's rent control laws, which may limit the amount and frequency of rent increases. It's essential for tenants to be aware of their rights regarding rent hikes. Tenant Rights: Tenants have the right to accept or decline a lease renewal. If a tenant decides not to renew the lease, they are generally required to provide written notice within a specified timeframe, typically 30 days before the lease expires. Lease Term: Rental renewal clauses may specify the duration of the renewed lease term. Some may automatically renew for the same term as the initial lease, while others may offer options for shorter or longer renewal periods. Review the Lease Agreement: It's crucial for both landlords and tenants to carefully review their lease agreements to understand the specific terms and conditions related to renewal. Any agreed-upon terms should be clearly documented in the lease. Benefits for Landlords and Tenants Rental renewal clauses can benefit both landlords and tenants in several ways: For Landlords: Provides a mechanism for maintaining a stable and predictable rental income. Allows landlords to retain responsible and reliable tenants for extended periods. Streamlines the leasing process by avoiding frequent turnover. For Tenants: Offers the option to secure a home for an extended period without the risk of eviction. Provides an opportunity to negotiate for more favorable lease terms or rent rates. Helps maintain housing stability, especially in competitive rental markets. Conclusion In California, understanding rental renewal clauses is essential for both landlords and tenants to ensure a fair and legal renting experience. These clauses provide a framework for extending a lease beyond its initial term, but they must adhere to state laws and regulations. Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, knowing your rights and responsibilities regarding rental renewals is crucial for a harmonious and successful landlord-tenant relationship in the Golden State.

Quitclaim Deed

Ohio

Asked on Oct 2, 2023

How to correct a quitclaim deed error?

I recently purchased a home using a quitclaim deed. After I received the deed, I noticed that there was an error in the legal description of the property. I am concerned that the error may invalidate the deed, and I am looking for advice on how to correct the error.

Jeffrey K.

Answered Oct 6, 2023

In Ohio, a deed can be corrected either by re-recording the prior deed with corrections made directly on it, or by recording a new deed, called corrective deed. Correcting the legal description can all be achieved through a corrective deed.

Real Estate Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a seller back out of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement after signing it?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and have signed a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with the seller. However, the seller has recently expressed hesitation and is considering backing out of the deal. I have already invested time and money in inspections and due diligence, and I am concerned about the legal implications of the seller reneging on the agreement. Can a seller legally back out of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement after signing it, and what are my rights and options in this situation?

Melissa T.

Answered Jun 18, 2024

In short, yes, a seller can back out of a Purchase and Sale Agreement after signing it. However, a seller can only do this under certain circumstances. These conditions differ whether it is a commercial or residential property. Generally, a seller of property will need a legitimate legal or contractual reason to withdraw from the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Regarding residential properties, during the attorney review period (commonly three days), the seller is able to back out of the agreement without consequences. Additionally, a seller may cancel a home sale without breaching of the contract or incurring legal penalties in the instances of there being in the Purchase and Sale Agreement (i) a home sale contingency (if they cannot find a suitable new home); (ii) an appraisal contingency (if the appraisal comes in lower than expected and the buyer is unwilling to lower the price and the seller will not make up the difference in cash, the contract could be void); (iii) home inspection contingency (if the seller is unwilling to issue credits or make repairs, the seller could end negotiations and the home sale); and (iv) a clause about breach of contract by the buyer that has continued beyond the specific time period in the contract, such as a missing deposit or buyer not securing a mortgage). Moreover, the buyer could enter into a separate agreement with the seller to let them cancel the contract without any liability. For commercial properties, a seller may cancel a Purchase and Sale Agreement also for specific reasons. These include the buyer not funding the purchase price (after the deducting the prorations and adding in of credits as outlined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement), inaccuracy(ies) of the buyer’s representations and warranties, buyer not signing and delivering of the closing documents. In addition, the seller could cancel the contract without a legal penalty if the buyer is unable to obtain financing or assumption of the mortgage, the buyer and seller cannot agree on a price reduction with the buyer after an appraisal or an issue revealed during the due diligence period, and the buyer has breached the contract and it is continuing past the time allotted to cure the default. If a seller of a commercial or residential property withdraws after signing a Purchase and Sale Agreement for a personal reasons then they could face legal and financial consequences. A seller could face a lawsuit from the buyer to make the seller perform (this remedy is called specific performance). A buyer could also sue a seller for the damages of incurring unreasonable and unexpected expenses due to the seller backing out of the purchase and sale agreement, such as storage costs, temporary housing costs, lost deposits, and legal fees. If remedies are not permitted under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the buyer may be able to collect from the seller liquidated damages (the amount stated in the Purchase and Sale Agreement). The seller may also face a lawsuit from the real estate agent or broker for not being able to collect the commission under their agreement. Like with anything, you should have an attorney review the Purchase and Sale Agreement to know for sure what rights the seller has to cancel a contract after signing.
