What is a Basic Lease?
A basic lease is a contract between a landlord and tenant that serves to create a simple rental agreement between the two parties. The contract includes the basic details surrounding the rental of a certain property and includes details such as the location of the property, the term of the lease agreement, and the cost of rental. It also establishes certain fees, such as late fees or transaction fees, that can be charged to the tenant during their stay at the rental property.
By drawing and signing a basic lease, landlords and tenants can sucessfully enter into a lease without relying on a long-form lease contract to do so.

He has represented businesses in a wide array of fields IT consulting, software solutions, web design/ development, financial services, SaaS, data storage, and others. Areas of expertise include contract drafting and negotiation, terms of use, business structuring and funding, company and employee policies, general transactional issues as well as licensing and regulatory compliance. His prior experience before entering private practice includes negotiating sales contracts for a Fortune 500 healthcare company, as well as regulatory compliance contracts for a publicly traded dental manufacturer.

"I'm a solo developer launching my first app and needed privacy, terms, and disclaimer documents done properly. Mike delivered all three and they were thorough — the disclaimer in particular covers the specific ways an alarm app can fail, which is exactly the risk I needed addressed. What stood out was the follow-through. When I found a typo in one of the paragraphs he'd written, he confirmed the correction the same day and made a point of saying I could reach out again in the future. He was responsive throughout and easy to work with, and he clearly understood what a small software business actually needs rather than handing over boilerplate. If you're a small developer or single-member LLC trying to get your legal documents right before launch, I'd recommend him."

"I highly recommend hiring Adam. He provided an exceptional experience by addressing several conflicts in our lease agreement point by point, while also providing clear, suggested language for our revisions. His responses were incredibly prompt, and he returned our reviewed document with a very quick turnaround time. He took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and made us feel completely supported throughout the process. We would absolutely hire him again for any future legal needs!"

I'm glad I could be of service. To be honest, I would have thought Zillow's lease creation software would do a much better job of protecting your interests!
