A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the April 2023 webcast, Practical Advice: Basics of Advising Clients About Commercial Leasing.
Learn the complexities surrounding commercial leasing contracts, including the practical aspects of navigating those complexities and avoiding traps for the unwary in such transactions. Viewers obtain an overview of the structure of commercial leases and the key issues to be negotiated on behalf of clients seeking to lease commercial space.
Most commercial leases initially are structured in a manner that imposes very onerous and one-sided terms upon the tenant, including the creation of events of default for relatively minor breaches, allowing for the placement of liens on the tenant’s personal property in the event of such default, and making the tenant personally liable for the entire accelerated rent due under the lease. The program presenter identifies the essential points that affect the liability of the tenant and guarantors and explain strategies for negotiating various limitations on the liability of commercial tenants.
Learn how to spot the most common areas of controversy in commercial leases, including but not limited to common area maintenance charges, landlord’s right to relocate tenant, and liability of tenant in the event of damage to the property.
