Before You Sign a Commercial Lease
The monthly rent is only one part of a commercial lease.
The agreement may also determine who pays for repairs, maintenance, taxes, insurance, improvements, operating expenses, and other costs associated with the property.
It can also determine what happens if you need to move, sell your business, expand, sublease the property, or end the relationship early.
Having the agreement reviewed before signing gives you an opportunity to understand those obligations before they become part of your business.
