A Utah commercial lease agreement is a lawfully binding record used by a property owner and lessees to rent a real estate property. The commercial lease agreement will specify the obligations and provisions for each person, with the lessee's primary responsibility to pay rent timely. And before approving a lease, the owner must verify the lessee's financials by conducting a credit assessment. If the owner consents, a lease is documented and signed by both individuals entering a commercial lease agreement.
Significant Disclosures Required in Utah Commercial Lease
According to national and state regulations, the following revelations must appear on Utah commercial lease agreements:
- A property owner must disclose any known lawful or zoning infringements on the property to the lessee.
- All lease contracts must comprise a lead paint disclosure to inform the company of possible exposure to lead in premises constructed before 1978. Tenants must also be aware of the effects of lead on children and pregnant women.
- Sewage systems and any damaged sewer must also get disclosed in the rental lease.

I stand ready to assist in any area to which I feel I can be of service, but will not try to fake it if I do not know the area of law I am being asked to serve in.

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).

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.

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.
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.

How is the lease renewed at the end of the lease term?
I am a small business owner who recently signed a three-year commercial lease for my business. I am looking to understand the process of renewing the lease at the end of the three-year term. I am interested in learning more about the process, the timeline, and what I need to do to ensure that I can continue to operate my business at this location.
Paul S.
If your lease has a renewal option, then you renew by following that process, which involves giving notice during the specified time frame. If you did not include a renewal option in your lease, then you'll need to contact the landlord 6-12 months before the end of the term, and inform the landlord that you want to renew the lease. Then you'll have to negotiate the terms with the landlord.

What's the property description in a commercial lease?
I am a small business owner who is looking to lease a property for my business. I am currently reviewing a commercial lease and am trying to understand what is included in the property description in the lease. I am hoping to gain more clarity on what the property description entails and how it affects my business.
Gagandeep K.
A property description in a commercial lease has to sufficiently identify the extent and boundaries of the property being leased. For example, it can be described by a map reference or by metes and bounds, or include a description such as "that certain building on the south-westerly corner of California and Larkin Streets." The commercial lease will include defined terms such as "Building," "Property," and "Premises". The defined terms define/describe the "Property" on which the "Building" is located which has the "Premises"/"Space" that is being leased. A sample definition of is Property Description in a Commercial Lease: ""Property" means the real property on which the Building is located together with the Building and all appurtenant fixtures and personal property of Landlord used in the operation of the Building and/or the Property, and any other improvements now existing or hereafter constructed thereon[, including the parking lot, walkways, and landscaped ground as depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit [LETTER]]."
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
