Project Description

In 2023, a business in California sought assistance with drafting a commercial lease agreement. The client needed new leases for both a ground-floor commercial space currently occupied by a restaurant and a second-floor residential flat that the restaurant owner also occupied, as both leases had expired. Given the client’s goal of increasing the rent, they desired to extend the existing terms in the new agreements while ensuring compliance with legal standards. As a result, the client received nine proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $750 to $2,000. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's deadline of over a week, effectively addressing their leasing needs.

Asked on Jun 7, 2024

Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a commercial lease agreement?

I am a small business owner who recently signed a commercial lease agreement for a retail space. The lease specifies a fixed monthly rent for the duration of the lease term, which is three years. However, I have received a notice from the landlord stating that they intend to increase the rent by 20% starting from the second year of the lease. This sudden increase is unexpected and would significantly impact my business's profitability. I want to know if the landlord has the legal right to increase the rent during the term of the lease agreement, and if so, what options do I have to negotiate or challenge this increase?

One of the primary benefits of a lease, from a tenant's perspective, is that it allows them to stay in a property for a set time at a guaranteed rental rate. The landlord is bound by the amount agreed to in the lease and cannot legally raise it without the tenant's consent. They cannot force a tenant to consent by threatening eviction. Some commercial leases include a clause that requires the tenant to pay a portion of property taxes, utilities to the landlord, or other amounts that are not fixed at the time of signing. That could result in an increase before the lease ends. Read the document carefully to see if it has such a clause.
