Do you need help negotiating a commercial lease in San Diego? Negotiating your commercial lease in San Diego is an exciting opportunity for your business.
An Opportunity to Reduce Expense and Lock In Profit
One of the reasons you need help negotiating a commercial lease in San Diego might surprise you: there is no standard commercial lease in California, so you are on your own. The saying in California real estate law is “The Lease is the Law,” and if it isn’t clearly agreed upon and documented in your commercial lease you won’t have a leg to stand on down the road.
Your commercial lease negotiations are an important opportunity to reduce expenses and lock in profit while making sure that your rights as a commercial tenant are protected throughout the course of the agreement. Commercial leases are much more than a cost per square footage over an established period of time. They encompass complex business issues such as improvements and custom build outs, access to utilities, dedicated power and data infrastructure, building access and dedicated parking, payment terms and incentives, options for future expansion, rest room and kitchen facilities.
Effective commercial leases should also cover issues of insurance coverage, liability, the impact of tax increases or other expenses on present or future rent, automated rent increases, or other expenses the owner of the property may wish to push back upon you.
