A New Mexico commercial lease agreement allows a tenant or company to rent an office, commercial, or industrial space in New Mexico. The conditions and requirements of renting and running a commercial space are outlined in this contract.

Rules for Commercial Leasing in New Mexico

  • If the building was constructed before 1978, the landlord is required to warn tenants that lead-based paint may be present. If the renter plans to do business from the space, they should be informed that this material poses a risk to their health as well as the health of others.
  • The Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA), which seeks to provide some uniformity in landlord-tenant legislation from state to state, has been enacted by numerous conditions, including New Mexico.
  • Both parties are granted full rights under New Mexico landlord-tenant law once the lease is in effect. This covers all rights and obligations, such as the tenant's need to pay timely rent and the landlord's commitment to providing a livable area.
  • In New Mexico, a commercial lease is not required to be notarized in order to be legally binding; nevertheless, if one of the parties would prefer, they can ask to have the lease notarized.

Maryland

Asked on Apr 27, 2023

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 is a commercial lease agreement and how does it work?

I am a business owner interested in renting a commercial space for my business. I am trying to understand the details of a commercial lease agreement and how it works so I can make an informed decision about whether or not to sign a lease.

MICHAEL B.

Answered Jun 2, 2023

A commercial lease agreement sets out the parameters of the space to be leased, including a description of the premises, an allocation of responsibilities for janitorial services, electrical services, tenant improvements, insurance requirements, payment of rent and payment of common area expenses, parking for employees and visitors, telephone and telecommunication services and many other issues.

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.

Answered Apr 28, 2023

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.

Texas

Asked on May 12, 2021

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.

Answered May 12, 2021

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).

Commercial Lease

Massachusetts

Asked on Apr 24, 2023

Can the tenant sublease the property to another business?

I am a business owner and I am looking to rent a commercial space for my business. I am considering signing a commercial lease with the landlord, but I am concerned about my ability to sublease the property to another business. I am trying to determine whether this is an option that is available to me and what the implications would be.

Joseph M.

Answered May 12, 2023

In Massachusetts, a commercial tenant can sublet or even fully assign the unit to a third party - UNLESS there is a specific prohibition in the current lease. However, even if there is such a prohibition, it might still be worth speaking to the landlord about since it might be mutually beneficial.
