Commercial Leasing Considerations

Commercial leasing often requires you to take on certain property-related responsibilities. Often, these responsibilities are negotiable. We will guide you in knowing the exact terms of these agreements and understanding the conditions for renewing as well as conditions for terminating the agreement. 

More than simply leasing space, you must consider:

• Are you responsible for the utility payments? 
• If so, how? 
• Are the utilities shared or are you paying a percentage of the total utility costs?
• Are you responsible for the maintenance of the leased space? 
• If so, will the property require indoor painting, outdoor landscaping services, common area expenses, etc.?
• What is a triple net lease? 
• Are you paying property taxes or building insurance?
  

Helping You Understand the True Cost

There are many different costs included in lease agreements, and you as a lessee may not realize what you are expected to pay without hiring an attorney review the contract. 

Business owners may think that they are agreeing to lease a piece of property for $25 a square foot, but it turns out to be $32 a square foot when all the common area maintenance (CAM) expenses are factored in. We will make sure you understand what you will actually be paying and what your payments will cover.

Skillfully Representing Franchisees in Florida

It is critical to have a detailed understanding of the legal agreements you are making when you join a franchise. It is typically a significant financial commitment and one from which you cannot simply walk away.

The Law Offices of David H. Trevett can review agreements for you if you are a Florida business owner considering joining a franchise. Franchise agreements tend to be very one-sided and are usually intended to protect the best interests of the franchisor and not the franchisee.

Proper Guidance of Franchise Complexities

You as a prospective franchise owner must have a clear understanding of your rights, responsibilities, and obligations. Such issues can include:

• Reviewing the details of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
• Analyzing the scope of financial commitment
• Defining the limits of the franchise
• Determining how much support the franchisee can expect to receive from the franchisor

Our law firm is here to advise and guide you through the complexities. We are familiar with the Federal Trade Commission requirements for FDDs, including the requirement that the document must be given to the prospective franchisee at least 14 days before the payment of any franchise fees or the signing of an agreement.
