​

Requirements of commercial lawyers

A Commercial Lawyer can perform an array of roles. As a solicitor, a legal professional, your daily responsibilities would include reading contracts, amending them and drafting legal papers for the businesses.

​

Business owners require to lease commercial spaces to set up an office, factory, or research laboratory. Before renting a space, it would be best to hire a commercial landlord-tenant to help you go through the lease. A commercial lease is a contract drafted and effected when a commercial tenant wants to lease space from a landlord. Like any other lease, a commercial lease allows the tenant to occupy the space and do business for a while in exchange for rent payments. Having a lease in place helps both parties to understand the legal responsibilities and rights.

​

When do you need a commercial landlord-tenant lawyer?

When a business does not pay rent, it is important to speak to the landlord about renegotiating the cost of the rent. Some landlords will agree to reduce the rent until the business can pay the agreed amount as per the lease. If the property owner is not willing to lower the rent, then they can evict the tenant. However, each state has different laws regarding lease termination notices, and the landlord needs to follow them to evict a tenant.

 

If landlord chooses to disregard the provided laws and evicts you unlawfully, hiring a commercial landlord-tenant lawyer in NYC would be the only thing to do. The landlord may decide to break the commercial lease because they want to increase the rent, and the law forbids them to do so while the lease agreement is still valid. Some landlords will use crafty tactics and create a uncomfortable environment in an effort to force you out.

​

In case of an eviction, the attorney will review the lease agreement and area jurisdiction laws to see if defenses may be raised. Legal defenses that may be raised against and eviction include:

​

- Landlord breach

- No prior eviction notice

- Retaliation eviction tactics by the landlord

- Discrimination
