Join us for a discussion of the fundamentals of commercial leases, focusing on the essential components and considerations for tenants, landlords, and real estate professionals. Members of the McLane Middleton Real Estate Practice Group will explain the responsibilities and rights of both landlords and tenants, including property maintenance, insurance, and potential lease clauses governing rent escalation, renewal options, and fit-up. Negotiating a commercial lease requires understanding these terms and more to create mutually beneficial agreements that align with the business needs of all parties (including lenders). This session provides a foundational overview.
