Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial Lease

North Carolina

Asked on Apr 26, 2023

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.

Answered May 19, 2023

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.

Office Space Lease

New York

Asked on Dec 23, 2024

Can a landlord terminate an office space lease before the agreed-upon term ends?

I recently signed a lease agreement for office space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I may need to relocate sooner than anticipated. I want to know if the landlord has the right to terminate the lease before the agreed-upon term ends, and if so, what are the potential consequences for me as the tenant? I am concerned about any financial penalties or obligations that may arise from terminating the lease early.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 24, 2024

A landlord could agree to terminate the lease if a tenant requests it or can modify a lease to allow for an option for a tenant to vacate the premises at an earlier date. If a tenant wants to vacate the premises on an earlier date than the lease end date, either the landlord would have to agree to the earlier termination date or the tenant could be found in breach of contract. If you are considering early termination, it's advisable to communicate with the landlord to explore possible solutions, such as subleasing, assigning the lease, or negotiating a modification to the lease agreement. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions about this.

Addendum to Lease

Washington

Asked on Jun 12, 2024

Can a landlord add an addendum to a lease without the consent of the tenant?

I recently signed a lease for a commercial property, and now the landlord wants to add an addendum to the lease that includes additional fees and requirements that were not part of our original agreement. I believe that the addendum is unfair and would put an excessive burden on my business. However, the landlord claims that they have the right to make changes to the lease without my consent. I would like to know if the landlord can legally add an addendum to the lease without my agreement, and what options I have to protect my rights as a tenant in this situation.

Merry K.

Answered Jun 18, 2024

Generally speaking, one party to any sort of contract cannot amend any sort of contract unilaterally…however, review your lease very carefully to see if you granted the landlord any such rights when you signed your contract—for example, that the landlord could increase the rent if his property taxes or insurance increases.

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.

Commercial Real Estate Purchase Contract

New York

Asked on Apr 2, 2025

Can a commercial real estate purchase contract be terminated if the buyer discovers undisclosed environmental issues?

I am in the process of purchasing a commercial property and have recently discovered potential environmental issues, such as soil contamination, that were not disclosed by the seller. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the purchase contract based on this new information and what legal options I have to protect my interests and recover any damages if necessary.

Jodi B.

Answered Apr 4, 2025

I would need to see to the contract to see if you have any contingency clauses that were added for your protection before you signed the contract.
