IF YOU LEASE BUSINESS SPACE AS A TENANT YOUR LEASE-BASED COSTS ARE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF YOUR OVERHEAD
Reviewing a proposed lease on your own can be very costly if it results in:
- Inability to keep a good location or escape from a bad one
- Inability to sell a business or a particular location
- Landlord imposed changes to the space, common areas, or rules and regulations, that hurt your business
- Inability to make desirable changes to the space or operations
- Unanticipated costs, losses or competition from another tenant
In commercial leases the devil is in the details:
- Leases have pages and pages of complicated details which most people do not know how to interpret
- The details are important and typically favor the landlord
- You need help to identify, understand and improve the important lease provisions
IF YOU ARE A LANDLORD YOU MAY NOT BE PROPERLY PROTECTED BY YOUR STANDARD LEASE
IF YOU ARE A LANDLORD YOU MAY NOT BE PROPERLY PROTECTED BY YOUR STANDARD LEASE

- You may be making promises you cannot keep or did not know you were making
- Provisions in your lease may be harsher than necessary
- You may be able to safely accommodate revisions requested by would-be tenants
