The Arkansas commercial lease agreement is a statutory arrangement specifying terms between a landlord (lessor) or commercial tenant (lessee) for industrial, rental, retail, or office areas. Even when there is no maximum or minimum lease duration for commercial properties in Arkansas, they typically remain valid for one to three years. Once signed, the Arkansas tribunal assumes a commercial lease agreement to be a lawfully valid contract.
Types of Arkansas Commercial Lease Agreements
The three types of commercial lease agreements in Arkansas are as follows:

Gross Lease Agreement - The lessee pays the lessor the specified amount at the time set in the agreement.
-
Triple Net - The lessee pays the lessor a rent amount specified in terms of the contract with the addition of all other expenditures related to the leased property, such as taxes, utilities, maintenance, and insurance.
-

What is a triple net lease?
I want to understand these better.
George O.
A triple net lease designates the tenant (lessee) as having the sole responsibility for any and all costs associated to the asset being leased in the agreement, with those costs being the net real estate taxes on the leased asset, net building insurance, and net common area maintenance. The lease received its name from the three “net” fees and may also be called a Net-Net-Net Lease.

Should I use a lawyer for commercial lease?
It is a very long lease and I'm not sure what it says. I also don't want to pay a fortune to have it reviewed to eat into my budget.
George O.
Yes! Before signing any contract/agreement/lease, or anything that appears to be a binding agreement, it is worth the money to have a lawyer review it. I charge a flat fee to review any and all agreements, so my clients know up front what they are paying, and they consider it a cost of doing business. The alternative, i.e. not having a lawyer review your agreements prior to signing, can be, and usually is, exponentially more expensive should a conflict arise (and they often do).

Need flat rate to do sub lease Kiosk at mall in Miami
Renting Kiosk as a sub leaser, need to verify contract and seeking a Flat rate.
Moss S.
I have been a commercial real estate attorney for over 30 years. I can review the agreement, and negotiate and draft any revisions. Considering it is in a mall, I am guessing that it is with a major retail landlord which would require review of the underlying lease. I can give you a flat rate once you request a proposal.

What's the parking situation in a commercial lease?
I am currently in the process of signing a commercial lease for a retail store and I need to know the parking situation that is included in the lease. I have read through the lease and I'm not sure if the parking is included or if I have to arrange it myself. I need to know if I will be able to provide adequate parking for my customers and employees.
Diane D.
The only way to answer this question is to have an attorney read the lease.

What's permitted alterations in a commercial lease?
I am a small business owner looking to rent a commercial space for the first time. I am considering signing a commercial lease and want to know what kind of alterations are allowed in the agreement. I would like to avoid any potential legal issues or disputes in the future by clarifying what is permitted before signing the lease.
Moss S.
Usually permitted alterations are cosmetic, and non-structural in nature. Often times the Landlord will require the Tenant to submit plans, or in the alternative the lease will describe the fit and finish that would be allowed.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
