The "New Economy" is producing thousands of entrepreneurs every month. Most of them have no experience dealing with that "legal monster" called the commercial lease. This single-source reference manual, written for anyone needing to lease space, can reduce fear and intimidation during lease negotiations. The introduction explains how to research markets and plan timing.
Summarizing 155 commonly included provisions into 18 "groups", a systematic plain-English review "system" shows how to organize a lease for understandable reading. Provisions are covered from both property owner’s and tenant's positions. In addition, Mitchell provides valuable "insider tips" on negotiating from a 29-year veteran. |
