How a Real Estate Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Lease Modification Agreement in New York

In 2022, a business in New York sought assistance with drafting a lease modification agreement following an early termination agreement with their tenant. The client wanted to ensure that the terms of the lease termination were clearly outlined in a contract, prioritizing that it would have no financial implications for the tenants and providing them certain incentives for cooperation. Key elements included the tenants' ability to vacate the property early, a monetary settlement upon moving out, and assurances regarding their security deposit. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $500 to $1,200, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
