Before You Decide
What Other Investors Ask First
“Can’t we just use a standard lease template?”
Generic templates often miss deal-specific protections, the landlord’s hypothec, breach remedy periods and reinstatement terms. Issues that only surface once a dispute arises.
“This will slow the deal down.”
A no-obligation consultation means we can move quickly once terms are settled, getting the lease drafted correctly the first time is faster than renegotiating after signing.
“We can review it ourselves before signing.”
A lease only legally requires three essentials to exist, the parties, the premises and the rent. Everything else (escalation, breach terms, reinstatement obligations) is fully negotiable and easy to miss without legal drafting expertise.
If a lease is silent on renewal, the tenant has no automatic right to stay. The landlord can ask the tenant to vacate, or negotiate entirely new terms once the lease expires.
A well-drafted breach clause should clearly define the process: written notice, a cure period, and the consequences if the breach isn’t remedied. Without it, enforcing your rights becomes significantly harder.
It’s a legal right that lets a landlord claim a security interest in a tenant’s movable property on the premises, to recover outstanding rent if the tenant defaults. A protection worth having clearly documented in the lease.
