Purchase and Sale Agreement
Florida
Purchase and sale agreement and inspections?
I am in the process of buying a home, and I recently received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I'm concerned about the inspection contingency in the agreement, because I'm not sure if it protects me as a buyer if there are any issues with the home. I want to make sure my interests are fully protected in the agreement, so I'm looking for legal advice on how to properly interpret and negotiate the inspection contingency.
Linda W.
It is recommended that you seek the assistance of an attorney before signing any contract. In addition, it is recommended that you sign an as-is contract, because the inspection period provides you the opportunity to terminate the contract for any reason, if you are not satisfied with the results of the inspection. But you must terminate within a timely period as set forth in the contract.

Building Lease
Florida
Can a building lease transfer to another party?
I am a tenant of a building in a commercial area. I recently received an offer from another party to take over my lease, and I am wondering if this is possible. I need to know if the lease can be transferred to the other party, and if so, what the process would be. I am also interested in understanding any potential legal implications of this transfer, as well as any other considerations I should take into account before making a decision.
Linda W.
If the lease does not indicate in writing that it is assignable, without any legal implications, you would need the permission of the landlord/owner. And if agreeable, then they would need to be an assignment of lease.

Residential Listing Agreement
California
Can a seller terminate a Residential Listing Agreement before the agreed-upon period ends?
I recently entered into a Residential Listing Agreement with a real estate agent to sell my property, but I am now considering terminating the agreement before the agreed-upon period ends. The agent has not been able to generate any offers or interest in the property, and I am concerned about the lack of progress. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the agreement early and if there are any potential consequences or obligations I should be aware of.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. Legally speaking, most real estate agent agreements generally state you must pay their commissions even if you terminate the relationship, typically up to 6 months after the termination of the relationship. In theory, you have a breach of contract action if this person has not done any actual work or generated any offers or any interest in the property. This would likely make the agreement "unconscionable" in this case. So what does this mean? It means your best option is to negotiate the termination How do you do that? One little-known, but very effective tool that lawyers use to settle matters outside of court is called principled negotiation. All this means is that you are looking to get something done on the basis of principles, even if you can’t find a law to support you. It takes the anxiety out of dealing with the other side because you’re focused on the facts, not each other. With that said, here are some simple steps you can follow: Figure out what the other side’s interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Think about what your interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Come up with 2 to 3 reasonable and objective ways to solve the problem; Present it to the other side; If the other side rejects, ask them, “Is there a reason why you do not feel it is necessary to negotiate?” Consider what your best alternative to a negotiated agreement is. This will give you confidence that no matter what, you'll have an option. Of course, these are just building blocks to get the other party to help solve the dispute. Believe me when I say that good lawyers use this technique all the time to keep things out of court. You’ll find that it is very effective even with the most stubborn of individuals. Best of luck!

Agreement To Lease
Georgia
When it comes to subleasing an apartment or rental, do I need specific written permission from the owner, or as long as the lease agreement doesnt forbit it, am I okay to proceed?
I am in the process of potentially leasing a home in Savannah, GA for a period of 8 months. My goal is to sublease this home as an Airbnb and make a profit. The leasing agreement has no language forbidding subleasing the property, but it also doesnt have express written permission either. I'm just wondering if that means I can proceed with my plan.
Meghan T.
This is a topic I get asked about very frequently. In Georgia, the right to sublet residential property is based on the express (written) and implied (inferred) language of the lease. Generally, if subleasing is not mentioned, then there is no restriction on subletting. In any event, you may want to at least have a discussion with your Landlord concerning what you plan to do. This can avoid lots of headaches for you and your guests later down the line.

Commercial Lease
Florida
What's the parking situation in a commercial lease?
I am currently in the process of signing a commercial lease for a retail store and I need to know the parking situation that is included in the lease. I have read through the lease and I'm not sure if the parking is included or if I have to arrange it myself. I need to know if I will be able to provide adequate parking for my customers and employees.
Diane D.
The only way to answer this question is to have an attorney read the lease.
