LEASE RENEGOTIATION Stop Paying Too Much!
By Levi F. Smith, Esq.
August 31, 2010
In today’s market where 25% vacancies are
common in both office and industrial
buildings, tenants should be reviewing their
existing leases for opportunities to save
money.
For instance, if you’ve been in your lease
for three years, you are probably paying the
market rent rate from three years ago, which
has since dropped considerably! It is
entirely possible to renegotiate your lease
with a lower monthly amount.
Plus, if you have been paying your rent on
time and abiding by the terms of your lease,
you have created value for your landlord.
Tenants like you are hard to find, yet you
are still paying 20% more than any new tenant your
landlord might get to fill your space if you
left – and who knows if they’ll pay as
regularly as you do.
If you are upset, you should be. Why not
call us to discuss how we can lower your
rent today. We have saved our clients over
$17,000,000 in recent years from landlords’
initial offer. Let us help you, too.
