Tenant Representation
As a potential tenant, your priority is to be treated fairly. We know you are completely aware that a landlord will do whatever they can to have an advantage over a lessee, which is natural, but you still deserve a peace of mind knowing the lease you are about to enter into is honest and equitable. The only way to truly have this security is by hiring a NYC lease review attorney.
Leases tend to be long, typed in small font, and very difficult to understand if you have no experience in drafting or reviewing these types of agreements. Suffice is to say, looking at a lease is overwhelming. Here are three reasons you should consider contacting us in order to aid you prior to anything being signed:
1. We will request the lease ahead of time and do a thorough review. Our firm will outline the most crucial points in the lease such as the renewal terms, the annual rent increases, and the miscellaneous rules associated with noise and pets.
2. After our review, we will call you in and discuss the items we went over during our assessment period. Any red flags that we spot, we will certainly let you know and convey to you a proper resolution.
3. Once we are on the same page, we will reach out to the landlord with our concerns, recommendations, and suggestions on how to modify the lease in order to get the deal done. Our goal isn’t to scare the landlord away. Our goal is to make sure you are protected and provide the landlord with awareness so they know why their terms aren’t equitable to you as the potential tenant.
Landlord Representation
As a landlord, similar to a tenant, you simply want fairness. Being a lessor can be incredibly time consuming, expensive, and headache-ridden. At the end of the day, especially in New York City, the only protection you have is a strong lease. Even then, when dealing with problematic tenants, a lease can only get you so far once you enter into the confines of Housing Court and Tenant-Landlord Disputes.
The most important starting point before accepting a tenant is having a legitimate lease in place. It’s the only defense you have in case there is a dispute with a tenant. Drafting your own agreement is an unacceptable practice that can get very costly for you if you ever happen to land a slippery tenant. Here are three reasons as to why you should allow us experienced NYC Lease Review Attorneys handle the lease draft portion:
1. Since it is your property, your rules apply. We will have an initial meeting with you so we can get an idea of what exact terms you want set forth in the lease. Some terms may not be acceptable and we will be sure to let you know how a court may view some of your terminology in the event a dispute were to ever arise. Otherwise, we will jot down everything you want in the lease and get to work right after.
2. The lease will be drafted with all of your specifications. We will outline the rent increase and provide a schedule in the lease as well so the potential tenant cannot miss the detail. Once approved by you, we will send the lease out.
3. If the tenant has questions or concerns, we will be available to speak with them. If a negotiation is warranted, we will provide you with the appropriate representation. Sometimes a tenant will have a broker or attorney on their side as well. We will have no issue in contacting them in order to get you the best results possible.
Our services apply to both commercial and residential transactions. The turnover rate during our review and assessment period is very fast. Our recommendations will be in writing. We will provide you with assistance from the moment you call us all the way into the point in which the lease is signed and agreed upon by all parties.
You can reach out to us at anytime with questions. Please call 917-567-1963. We are available to meet with you during the week as well as Sundays.
