Lease & Rental Agreements

Practice Areas / Real Estate Law

A lease or rental agreement is not just paperwork. It is a binding contract that controls how you use the property, what you pay, and what happens if something goes wrong. We help landlords, tenants, and business owners understand and negotiate the agreement in front of them — identifying where it protects them and where it leaves them exposed.

Many people start with a template found online, or with a form provided by the other side. Those documents are rarely written with your specific property, business, or family in mind. They may skip important protections, leave critical details unclear, or tilt responsibilities heavily toward one party without explaining the risk.

Common trouble spots include who pays for major repairs, how and when rent can increase, what happens if someone wants to leave early, and what counts as a default. Personal guarantees, renewal options, and rules about subletting can also carry serious consequences if they are drafted carelessly. Once a dispute arises, vague or lopsided terms become expensive.
