Practice Area
Commercial and Residential Lease Matters
A lease governs a relationship that can last years. We draft, review, and negotiate commercial and residential leases so obligations, options, and exit paths are clear on day one, for landlords protecting an asset and tenants protecting a business or home.
How We Help
Focused, Practical Counsel
Commercial lease negotiation
CAM charges, exclusivity, assignment, renewal options, personal guaranties: the clauses that decide whether a lease serves you for its full term.
Residential lease compliance
California residential leasing is heavily regulated. We help landlords keep lease terms enforceable and compliant.
Amendments and disputes
When circumstances change or a term is contested, we negotiate amendments and resolve disagreements with the relationship in mind.
Common Question
Worth Knowing
Should a commercial tenant negotiate a landlord's form lease?
Almost always. Form leases favor their drafter, and even modest negotiation of assignment, repair, and renewal terms can change the economics of a tenancy.
