REAL ESTATE LAW DUMBED DOWN 2022 - Representing the Commercial TenantFinancial Poise
A commercial tenant views a lease negotiation quite differently than does the landlord. As most leases tend to be drafted by the landlord, a tenant must begin an uphill battle to gain as many concessions as possible. This is an arduous task made easier by a full understanding of what are the most important issues for a tenant in a commercial lease transaction.
How does the financial profile of the tenant enter into the picture? Where can a tenant get hurt the most by hidden costs or unforeseen expenses?
