    Negotiating Your Commercial Lease

    Making sure you are not on the wrong side of a one-sided agreement

    Most businesses lease the property where they do business. The lease can be a significant investment for a business, and sometimes can even be the difference between enjoying a profit or suffering a loss. The lease can also commit a business for an extended period of time, closing off other possibilities. Consequently, it is very important that business owners negotiate carefully when choosing their lease terms and hire an experienced Arizona real estate attorney to review the contracts.

    Commercial Lease Negotiation

    Negotiating Your Commercial LeaseForming a commercial lease is very different from forming a residential lease. Commercial tenants are assumed to be more sophisticated and so they are given fewer protections under the commercial law. Furthermore, the terms of a commercial lease are generally much more negotiable than the terms of a residential lease. The first draft of a commercial lease that is given to a potential tenant usually has terms that strongly favor the landlord. However, it is expected that the tenant will negotiate more equitable terms. The following are some basic questions that should be clearly answered in your lease:

    • What is the term of the lease and when does it begin? Is there a renewal option and whose option is it?
    • Is the leased property clearly described? Does it include bathrooms, common areas, or parking?
    • Who pays the utilities, repairs, taxes, and insurances?
    • Do you have a gross lease, a net lease or some combination?
    • Is there an exclusivity clause that prevents the landlord from renting to a competitor? What is the definition of a competitor?
    • How much is rent? Does the rent increase each period? Is there a cap on the amount that rent can increase?
