I have led teams with and without authority; specifically, I have managed teams for an Adult Foster Care Facility called Etonne Cares, during my post-graduate fellowship with the largest Catholic Healthcare System in the U.S. and during my two-year executive order appointment with the Federal Government (Presidential Management Fellowship).

Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Commercial Real Estate
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.

Net Lease
Maryland
Is the landlord responsible for maintenance and repairs in a net lease agreement?
I recently signed a net lease agreement for a commercial property, and I am unsure about the extent of my responsibilities as a tenant when it comes to maintenance and repairs. The lease states that I am responsible for all operating expenses, but I want to clarify if this includes regular maintenance and repairs, or if those obligations fall on the landlord. I want to understand my rights and obligations before I proceed with any costly repairs or maintenance tasks.
Sara S.
Hi, Your responsibilities as a tenant will be identified in the lease. Such responsibilities will probably include some maintenance and repairs while the landlord is likely responsible for structural soundness, essential services and common area maintenance of the property. Reviewing the lease with a qualified Maryland attorney will give you much more insight.
Commercial Real Estate
Finance Lease
Georgia
What are the legal implications of entering into a finance lease agreement?
I am considering entering into a finance lease agreement for a commercial property, and I would like to understand the legal implications before making a decision. I have been approached by a leasing company that is offering favorable terms, such as lower upfront costs and fixed monthly payments, but I am uncertain about the potential risks and responsibilities involved. I want to ensure that I am fully aware of my legal obligations and rights under a finance lease agreement before proceeding.
Jerome L.
Hi there, A finance lease agreement can be a practical way to acquire commercial property or equipment with lower upfront costs and fixed payments—but it comes with specific legal obligations and long-term commitments that you should fully understand before signing. Here are the key legal implications to consider: Legal Considerations in a Finance Lease Agreement: Binding Long-Term Obligation: A finance lease is typically non-cancellable during the lease term, meaning you are legally obligated to make payments for the entire duration, even if you no longer need the property. Ownership vs. Use: You do not own the property under a finance lease. You are leasing it for an extended period, often with an option to purchase at the end. However, all the risks and responsibilities of ownership—like maintenance, insurance, and taxes—may still fall on you. Lessor’s Ownership Rights: The leasing company retains title to the property during the lease term. If you default, they typically have the right to repossess the property and pursue you for any remaining balance. Fixed Monthly Payments (But Watch for Hidden Costs): While the fixed payments seem attractive, be sure to review: Interest rates Late fees or penalties Additional service charges or fees tied to property upkeep End-of-Term Options: Understand your rights at the end of the lease: Can you buy the property? Are there residual value payments? Will you owe fees for wear-and-tear or restoration? Termination & Default Clauses: Read the fine print on what constitutes default and whether the lessor can accelerate payments or take legal action if you miss a payment. Impact on Financial Statements: A finance lease may appear as a liability on your balance sheet, depending on how the lease is structured. It’s wise to consult with an accountant on this point too. Before moving forward, I highly recommend having the lease agreement reviewed by an attorney. This will ensure the terms are fair, your risks are understood, and you are fully protected. If you would like assistance reviewing or negotiating the terms of your finance lease, I am happy to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Commercial Lease & Business Contracts Attorney

Commercial Real Estate Purchase Contract
New York
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.
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.

Commercial Lease
Massachusetts
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.
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.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
