Leasing
A lease for a commercial or retail property can mean a landlord- tenant relationship that spans for anything from 5 years to 35 years (including options). SR Legal can assist both landlords and tenants with risk management on these long-term agreements.
Some of the ways we can assist include:
- Identifying legal issues: We will review your situation (way of operating) and identify any legal issues or potential risks that may arise that may need to be factored into your lease agreement including zoning regulations, and tax issues.
- Negotiating and drafting agreements: We can help negotiate and draft lease agreements, to ensure that they are in line with your objectives and that your interests are protected and that the agreements are legally binding and enforceable.
- Providing legal advice and guidance: We can help interpret the terms of the lease and advise on the legal rights and obligations of both parties. This may help avoid disputes.
- Property Management issues: We can provide guidance on renewals, assignments, rent reviews and other issues that arise from the day to day management of commercial and retail properties.
- Staying up to date with changes in the law: We will keep you informed about changes in the law that may affect the property being leased. This can help you stay compliant with new regulations and avoid potential legal issues in the future.
