A New Hampshire commercial lease refers to a lease or contract on renting and using a building in New Hampshire for commercial purposes. Every location, tenant, and the landlord is distinctively diverse, necessitating a variety of lease clauses tailored to the particular circumstance.

New Hampshire's Rental Agreement Laws

The following are the regulations and disclosures required for a New Hampshire lease.

  • A commercial lease agreement should include terms like whether pets are allowed on the premises, whether security deposits are applicable, etc. New Hampshire state law also prohibits discrimination against tenants.
  • A landlord has the authority to terminate a lease agreement if the landlord refuses to pay the rent, fails to comply with lease terms, shows any type of behavior that affects the safety of other building tenants, and causes damages to the premises.
  • The sum of the deposit and the time frame under which it must be returned when the lease expires are constrained in New Hampshire. Tenant discrimination is forbidden under state legislation. As a result, the business lease agreement should specify whether dogs are permitted on the property if security deposits are required, and when rent is due.
  • A letter of intent or request for the proposal is crucial because, in general, neither document binds the parties.
  • An HVAC system is crucial to renters. There are problems with these systems' upkeep, repair, and replacement.
  • A new tenant should make plans for the future and how the expansion of the business may affect its space requirements before signing the lease.
  • A landlord expects rent increases over time. Therefore the parties must agree on how annual increases will be decided upon and carried out.

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.

Answered Mar 15, 2022

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 are the notice requirements for terminating the lease?

I am a business owner who recently signed a commercial lease for a property. I am looking to terminate the lease but am unsure of the notice requirements I must adhere to in order to do so. I would like to know what the notice requirements are for terminating the lease so that I can ensure I do not breach the terms of the lease.

Michael C.

Answered Jun 1, 2023

The notice requirements for terminating a commercial lease in Maryland are going to vary depending on the specific terms of your lease agreement. Please read and refer to your lease. If your lease is month to month, then it's likely you'll have to provide at least 30 days notice. If your lease is for a longer term (6 to 12 months), it's likely you'll have to provide at least 90 days notice, and may need to pay damages for breach of the lease agreement.

What's the force majeure clause in a commercial lease?

I am a small business owner who is in the process of signing a commercial lease for my business. I am concerned about the implications of force majeure clauses in the lease and would like to understand them better. I have read through the clause, but am not sure if it covers all of the situations that may arise and if there are any additional considerations that I need to take into account. I would like to understand the full implications of the clause and any additional steps I should take to protect myself.

Moss S.

Answered Apr 28, 2023

Force majeure is a provision that usually allows either party to delay completing an obligation in a lease. Force majeure is described as an act that is beyond the control of either party, such as a natural disaster, terrorism, or pandemic.

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.

What is a triple net lease?

I want to understand these better.

George O.

Answered May 12, 2021

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.
