How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Rental Lease Agreement in New York (2025)

In 2025, a personal client in New York sought assistance with drafting a rental lease agreement to operate personal training services within a friend's rock climbing gym. The client aimed for a three-year lease with a revenue split arrangement, along with options for potential extensions based on agreed revenue goals. Ensuring strong protections for both themselves and their staff was also a priority, as they had specific concerns about termination and other operational regulations. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,450, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
