Property Leases
A lease is where landlord and tenant disputes are either prevented or created, which is why we draft, review and negotiate both residential and commercial lease agreements. We confirm that the terms comply with state law and clearly define each side's rights and responsibilities, and where a lease is violated or an eviction becomes necessary we can provide representation and resolve the conflict efficiently.

How does an attorney help with a lease?
An attorney can help draft, review, and negotiate residential and commercial lease agreements to protect the interests of landlords and tenants. They ensure that lease terms comply with state laws and clearly define rights and responsibilities, reducing the risk of disputes. Legal guidance is especially important for commercial leases, which often involve complex terms related to rent adjustments, property maintenance, and business use. In case of lease violations or eviction matters, an attorney can provide representation and resolve conflicts efficiently.
What is checked in a lease before you sign it?
That the terms comply with state law, and that the rights and responsibilities of landlord and tenant are defined clearly enough to reduce the risk of a later dispute. Review and negotiation are part of the work, not only drafting from scratch.
Why are commercial leases handled differently?
Commercial leases often involve complex terms around rent adjustments, property maintenance and permitted business use. How those clauses are drafted decides who carries which cost for the life of the lease, which is why legal guidance matters most here.
What happens if the lease is breached?
In cases of lease violations or eviction matters we can provide representation and work to resolve the conflict efficiently.
How a transaction runs from offer to post-closing
Most matters follow the same eight stages: offer, contract, due diligence, financing where it is needed, clearing title conditions, document preparation, closing and post-closing. Each stage and what we do in it is set out in full on our About page.
