Commercial Leases

Whether you are the Landlord or Tenant, leases are such an important contract for most businesses that they warrant discussion separate from other contracts. Commercial lease agreements (unlike residential lease agreements) permit the parties to agree to any terms they want unless the terms are illegal or violate public policy. As a result, commercial lease agreements can be complex and creative. Properly drafted one-of-a-kind leases are crucial to avoid unforeseen problems, and to ensure that the intent and obligations of the parties can be clearly ascertained. The liability taken on by entering into a commercial lease that goes bad is often sufficient to swamp a start-up business, so at DeWitt Law these agreements are carefully drafted or scrutinized to ensure our client has a complete and accurate understanding of his/her position.

Typical Types of Commercial Leases:

• Shopping Center
• Office Space
• Retail Space
• Restaurants
• Manufacturing Facilities
• Medicial and Professional Service Facilities
• Agriculture
