Commercial Leasing

As a landlord, we understand the importance of securing the right tenants and maintaining a profitable lease. Sanicki offers comprehensive services to help you draft, negotiate, and enforce commercial leases. We provide advice on:

• Lease Preparation and Negotiation: Tailoring lease agreements to suit your needs, from rent reviews to security deposits.
• Tenant Screening: Ensuring prospective tenants meet your criteria, reducing risks and protecting your investment.
• Dispute Resolution: Addressing conflicts swiftly, including breach of lease, rent arrears, or property damage.
• Lease Renewals and Terminations: Assisting with the renewal process or legally ending a lease when necessary.

For tenants, a lease is more than just a contract—it’s a commitment that can shape your business’s future and stability. We work to ensure that your lease agreement is fair and supportive of your objectives. Our services include:

• Lease Review and Negotiation: Ensuring the terms of your lease are clear, fair, and conducive to your business’s success.
• Lease Assignment and Transfer: Helping you understand and execute your rights if you need to assign or transfer your lease.
• Dispute Resolution: Representing your interests in disputes with landlords, including issues related to maintenance, rent, and lease terms.
• Exit Strategies: Guiding you through the complexities of ending a lease, whether through early termination or at the lease’s conclusion.

Subleasing can offer flexibility and financial benefits, but brings unique challenges. We’re experienced in navigating the intricacies of subleasing for both tenants and subtenants. Our services include:

• Sublease Drafting and Review: Crafting sublease agreements that are clear, enforceable, and aligned with the head lease.
• Consent from Landlords: Assisting with obtaining the necessary permissions from landlords to proceed with a sublease.
• Dispute Resolution: Mediating and resolving conflicts that arise in subleasing arrangements, ensuring a smooth relationship between all parties.
