Buyer’s and Seller’s Be Aware – Eight Major Lease Items to Review

  • Will your lease ALLOW you to get credit from vendors to lease or purchase equipment and supplies?
  • Your landlord has defaulted on the mortgage and your building goes into foreclosure. YOUR lease has options which keep you financially fit.
  • Your contractor goes bust before the build-out is complete. You must hire a new contractor to finish the job, AND you hire an expert to make sure you do NOT pay for incomplete work. So now you can use your free rent period and build-out allowance for all the right reasons!!
  • Your contractor does sub-par work — your lease forces the contractor to make it right — NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!
  • Your landlord does NOT have the right to relocate you to a different, possibly inferior, space.
  • Your landlord does NOT have the right to deny the sale or sublease of your practice.
  • Your practice’s value is enhanced at sale because you have good renewal options.
  • Your landlord pays you the agreed-upon build-out allowance.

Your lease is more than an agreement of the rate and term. It is an operative agreement that, if well-negotiated, will offer protections such as these to you.
