Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Real Estate

Building Lease

Arizona

Asked on Jul 23, 2024

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.

Answered Aug 13, 2024

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.

Commercial Real Estate

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.

Real Estate Lease Agreement

Illinois

Asked on Jan 24, 2022

What is the best type of commercial lease?

I am a landlord and am wanting to consider which types of commercial lease agreements I would want to use. I own a small strip mall and am looking to sign tenants that would be retailers.

T. Phillip B.

Answered Feb 5, 2022

Much of that depends on the tenant and the agreement they are willing to enter into. Personally, I would want my tenants responsible for as much of the maintenance and upkeep of the property as possible. The same goes with the property taxes. You could calculate out what property taxes are / would be per square foot and allocate to them which will permit you to adjust rent annually to accomodate changes in the property taxes.

Purchase Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 31, 2023

Are purchase agreements confidential?

I recently made an offer to purchase a commercial property and the seller has asked me to sign a purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with the terms of the agreement and want to make sure that it is kept confidential. I am concerned about the potential for the details of the purchase agreement to be publicly disclosed and want to know if purchase agreements are confidential.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

I hope that you used the assistance of a WA State commercial real estate attorney to advise you in the writing and presentation of your offer to purchase a commercial property, as these can be extremely complicated. (Or, at the very least, I hope you were represented by an experienced and knowledgeable buyer's agent). To my knowledge, this type of PSA agreement is not required to be confidential unless you included that language in your offer. Please be aware that once the sale closes, the amount of the purchase price will be public information, in county records.

What is the average Indemnity CAP a seller should quote , for a Hospital Setup

What is the average Indemnity CAP a seller should quote , for a Hospital Setup. We are giving away our hospital of 200 beds to investor

David H.

Answered Mar 18, 2022

Hello, my name is David hatch I am a Michigan license attorney. This question has several nuances to it. An investor is taking it over, it sounds like you're giving it to them but it's also being sold? That is unclear. It would be helpful to understand what type of indemnity the investor is seeking. It really depends upon the value of the property and the risk involved in the deal. Please let me know if you like additional assistance beyond this. I can help you out. Attorney Dave.
