Preliminary Review
(LIST OF RED FLAGs)

$399
  • We will review your lease and provide a straightforward, bullet point list of items of concern (Red flags).

STEP 1

Please email your lease and the letter of intent (LOI) in Word format to [email protected]. If Word format is unavailable, email your lease or LOI in PDF format. If you would like, provide any relevant background information or special concerns that you may have.

STEP 2

Once the lease is emailed to us, we will send you a short engagement letter to hire us. The letter will outline the services and payment structure. For your convenience, a secure online payment may be made via LawPay.

STEP 3

Once we have everything from you, we will endeavor to return the lease within three (3) business days, redlined in Word so that you can see what is changed and why. We will arm you with the information and confidence you need to get a fair lease without having to pay large law firms higher fees to do a mediocre job by an inexperienced attorney or by a generalist.

A complete lease review can potentially save you thousands of dollars.

We review and comment on the following areas and more:

  • The basic lease provisions and the identity of the parties
  • Base rent, CAM charges, rent abatement
  • The premises and its measurement
  • Operating expenses and rent increases
  • Tenant improvements and alterations
  • Repair and maintenance obligations
  • Assignment of lease, subleasing and future transfer of business
  • Option to extend, option to purchase, etc.
  • Defaults, waivers and late fees
  • Security deposits
  • Damage and destruction
  • Holdover
  • Parking rights
  • Landlord charges hidden in the lease
  • Personal guaranties
  • Lease concessions (if any)
  • Lease term, start dates, end dates and effective dates.
  • Indemnity
  • Delay in possession

One size does NOT fit all when it comes to commercial real estate leases. There is no standard length of lease. We have seen leases that range from 2 pages to 125+ pages. A shorter lease is not necessarily more favorable to a tenant.

There is no such thing as a standard lease. Many landlords use form leases published by the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) or form leases published by the AIR Commercial Real Estate Association. If you are presented with a form lease, we can revise it to better protect you. More often than not, the so-called standard leases are not standard at all and certainly not fair to both sides. Sophisticated landlords often hire an attorney to prepare a form lease for them or to modify a CAR or AIR form by attaching an Addendum, and then revise this template over time to better protect the landlord’s interests.
