"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Hi, I'm Randy, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.

"Very good experience overall. Randy was responsive and delivered a clear, well-structured memorandum with practical recommendations that were directly usable. I especially appreciated the way he identified the priority items and provided draft clause language for the key revisions."

Landlord Tenant Legal Questions and Answers

Landlord Tenant

Lease Agreement

New York

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Can the tenant use the property for storage?

As a business owner, I am looking to rent a commercial property to use for storage purposes. However, I am unsure if the property's lease agreement allows for such use or if there are any restrictions in place. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether I can use the property for storage and if there are any legal implications I should be aware of.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 24, 2023

In order to advise you on the lease, you would have to have the lease reviewed so that the purposes for the lease can be established and discussed with you. I can help to review your lease and advise you on you can and cannot do based on the lease. You can connect with me via the website to engage my services Donya Gordon

Landlord Tenant

Residential Lease Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Sep 11, 2023

Insurance in a residential lease agreement?

I am a tenant who is about to sign a residential lease agreement with a landlord. I am concerned about the insurance requirements of the agreement and what type of insurance coverage the landlord and tenant are responsible for. I want to make sure that I am adequately covered in case of any accidents or damages that may occur during my tenancy.

N'kia N.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

North Carolina does not require a residential landlord to maintain landlord insurance and does not require a residential tenant to maintain tenant ("renter's") insurance. However, when a residential lease agreement requires a tenant to carry renter's insurance, it will specify the minimum amount of coverage required. Generally speaking, landlord insurance covers a landlord and tenant ("renter's") insurance covers a tenant. For example, landlord insurance is likely to cover a tenant's injuries or damages related to the landlord's negligence but is not likely to cover the tenant for more general liability purposes. Ultimately, a tenant is responsible for maintaining the minimum amount of renter's insurance required by the residential lease agreement. Otherwise, the tenant may be liable for violating the lease. However, a tenant may choose to maintain renter's insurance with more coverage than required. Exactly how much coverage a tenant needs will depend on that tenant's specific circumstances.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

Florida

Asked on Oct 5, 2023

What happens if a rental agreement expires?

I recently signed a rental agreement for an apartment. The agreement was for a one year lease and it is now coming close to the expiration date. I am wondering what are my rights and obligations if the agreement expires. I am concerned that the landlord may try to keep me in the apartment longer than I am legally obligated to stay.

Diane D.

Answered Oct 17, 2023

When your lease expires, then it is over unless you sign a new lease or fail to give your landlord a 30-day notice. Send your notice and move out when before the lease expires, which could be the last day of the lease.

Landlord Tenant

Lease Agreement

Washington

Asked on Dec 2, 2024

Can a landlord terminate a lease agreement early without any valid reason?

I recently signed a lease agreement for a residential property, and it has only been a few months since I moved in. However, my landlord has recently informed me that they want to terminate the lease agreement early, without providing any valid reason for doing so. I have been a responsible tenant and have not violated any terms of the lease, so I am confused as to whether the landlord has the legal right to terminate the agreement without cause.

Merry K.

Answered Dec 3, 2024

No, the landlord cannot legally do so. A lease is a form of contract, and if one party tries to break a contract, it's normally considered a breach of contract. However, in addition, Washington has a very detailed (and sometimes difficult to follow) Residential Landlord Tenant Law that has been in effect, and amended numerous times, since 1973: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18 Also, many cities provide some additional protections to tenants - Seattle chief among them. I'd be happy to provide some assistance to you through Contracts Counsel, but no longer engage in litigation (however, litigation shouldn't be needed). Be aware that the landord can't do anything at all, for any reason, unless everything the landlord provides to you is in writing and properly served to you (eg, a notice to vacate or eviction can't be delivered merely by email or text). Best wishes, and good luck, Merry A. Kogut, Attorney at Law

Landlord Tenant

Residential Lease Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Dec 11, 2023

As a landlord, am I obligated to agree to a demand or a request by a tenant to modify a written lease agreement in order to remove the other tenant from the lease?

Tenants are unmarried couple. The decision to rent was based largely on the man's income. After 1 year of a 2-year lease, she demands to modify the lease to remove him from the lease. I asked for a new application and NTN Decision Point Plus Report. She submits only the application showing her alimony and child support income and social security disability income for her and her 3 children. What are my rights as a landlord with an existing written lease?

Matthew S.

Answered Dec 16, 2023

No, you can enforce the agreement you entered into.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
