Representing the Tenant in a Commercial Lease – At Wyckoff Law Firm, P.A., we represent both landlord and tenant clients in commercial lease negotiations. We understand that the terms and provisions contained in a commercial lease can sometimes be the difference between whether a business fails or succeeds. Generally, it is in both the landlord’s and the tenant’s best interest that the tenant’s business succeeds. The importance of a commercial lease properly negotiated to put the tenant on a fair and level playing field with the landlord cannot be overemphasized in accomplishing a successful and long lasting landlord-tenant relationship.

Too often, tenants do not adequately negotiate the terms and provisions of their lease. It is an unfortunate and common misperception that tenants must sign the lease that the landlord gives them. Tenants should be aware that leases drafted by the landlord are almost always very one-sided in favor of the landlord.   As a result, a tenant in a non-negotiated lease may find themselves exposed to personal liability, large sums of additional rent, substantial costs that the tenant was not aware of including unforseen costs for maintenance and repairs andor unforseen increases in common area maintenance charges, a tenant who is a direct competitor moving in to the space next door, parking issues, and perhaps even costly litigation.  We have the legal education, experience and skills to help our clients negotiate lease provisions designed to provide protection against making the above costly mistakes which should provide our clients with a better opportunity for success in their business.
