Asked on Jan 24, 2022

What questions should I ask for a commercial lease?

I am being asked to sign a commercial lease agreement and am interested to learn what types of questions I would want to ask the landlord before signing the agreement. Any thought or advice would be much appreciated!

I suggest you consult with an attorney who handles commercial real estate transactions. I suggest you as what charges you will be responsible for - water, heat, electric; what alterations are allowed; what repairs will the landlord cover; if the landlord will abate rent for COVID shutdowns.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
