Preparing for the Expected or Unexpected
My Lease is about to expire, what should I do?
- Start the process early - The more time you have, the better. Commercial lease negotiations take longer than you think.
- Get well-informed - Get information on market conditions and read your commercial lease contract thoroughly. It’s important that you understand your lease terms.
- Schedule a meeting with the landlord - When trying to renegotiate a commercial real estate lease, it’s better to do it in person.
- Be prepared to trade concessions - Landlords are not usually willing to give you everything you ask; they will typically want something in return.
- Get some help – Consider hiring a commercial real estate agent and consult your real estate attorney to fine tune your lease terms.
