What's the survival clause in a commercial lease?
I am looking to enter into a commercial lease for my new business. I am unfamiliar with the terms of a commercial lease, and am particularly interested in understanding the survival clause. This clause is important to me because I want to make sure I am fully aware of my rights and responsibilities as a tenant. I need to know what is expected of me should the lease be terminated prematurely.
Curt L.
A survival clause is fairly standard in a lease. It extends the effectiveness of certain provisions, such as party representations, warranties, promises, and covenants beyond the expiration or termination of the lease, but not beyond the legally prescribed statute of limitations. For example, If you make a fraudulent representation in a 1-year lease, the other party to the lease who is damaged by your fraud could still sue you for that fraud even after the end of the 1-year lease.

Can the tenant make alterations to the property?
I am a tenant of a commercial property and I am interested in making some alterations to the property. I understand that I will need the landlord's permission to make these changes, but I am unsure of what the landlord's policy is regarding tenant alterations and what the legal implications of making such changes might be. I am looking for clarification on the tenant's rights and obligations when making alterations to a commercial lease agreement.
O.T. W.
Hello! There should be an alterations clause in your lease that speaks to what is or isn't allowed in your space. Your safest bet is to have your landlord review and sign a letter of consent for more substantial improvements (beyond paint, mounting items, etc.)

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.
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.

I am a small business owner looking to expand my operations, and I am considering leasing a commercial space. I understand that commercial lease agreements vary in length, but I am unsure how long the typical agreement is. I would like to know this information so I can better plan for my business needs and budget.
Moss S.
The term of a commercial lease typically is no less than 3 years, and could be either 5 or 10 years. Both the Landlord and Tenant usually like long term leases.

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