Product Description

Often seen as a routine step on the path to starting or growing a business or developing a parcel of property, commercial leases contain many potential pitfalls for the unwary—both landlord and tenant—that can delay or derail a lease negotiation or, worse, plant the seed for a dispute that ripens years later. The panelists discuss the top ten most common commercial lease disputes that landlords and tenants encounter during the lease negotiation process, and how to navigate through them. The panelists also touch upon how these issues affect leases differently for industrial, office, and retail properties.
