Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Leases
What's the difference between a gross lease and a triple net lease?
In a gross lease, the landlord covers most operating expenses, and you pay a fixed rent amount. In a triple net lease (NNN), you pay base rent plus your proportionate share of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. Each structure presents different risk profiles and cost predictability levels.
How long should my commercial lease term be?
The appropriate term depends on your business stability, growth projections, and market conditions. Shorter terms (1 to 3 years) offer flexibility but less stability in rent. Longer terms (5 to 10 years) may secure better rates and justify tenant improvements, but limit your ability to relocate. We help you weigh these factors based on your specific situation.
Can I negotiate a commercial lease after the landlord presents their standard form?
Absolutely. Unlike residential leases, commercial leases are fully negotiable. Landlords expect tenants to propose changes to their standard forms. We identify provisions that should be modified and negotiate terms that better serve your interests.
What are common area maintenance (CAM) charges, and how can I control them?
CAM charges cover shared space expenses, such as landscaping, parking lot maintenance, and common-area utilities. These costs can increase unpredictably. We negotiate caps on CAM charges, audit rights to verify expenses, and exclusions for certain costs, such as capital improvements.
Should I personally guarantee a commercial lease?
Personal guarantees put your individual assets at risk if the business cannot meet its lease obligations. We work to eliminate or limit personal guarantee requirements, negotiate burn-off provisions that remove the guarantee after meeting certain conditions, or restrict the guarantee to specific amounts or time periods.
