Critical Legal Advice For Common Commercial Landlord Needs
Our attorneys have helped thousands of clients like you succeed as a commercial lessor, with a strong track record of successfully resolving common (and complex and uncommon) commercial lease matters. Some of the services we provide include:
- Commercial Leases: We can draft commercial leases for property owners and review leases for potential tenants. Your lease should work for you and cover all terms related to leasing a building or space, the expected conduct of the tenant, and the rights of all signors. We can negotiate favorable terms for shopping centers, warehouses, office buildings, and more.
- Zoning Law Matters: Zoning involves restrictions that the City of Austin and surrounding counties place on land use. We can help you with proper zoning permits to attract different tenants to your commercial property or evaluate whether a particular area is zoned for certain types of companies or industries before you proceed with a lease or purchase.
- Real Property Rights and Land Use: Property rights and land use establish the use of real property, including easements, restrictions on development, covenants, deeds, and more. We review the current land use and property rights of the property you’re interested in and advise you of your options to purchase it for a commercial lease or to secure tenancy in the area.
Addressing Commercial Landlord Disputes
When a dispute between a commercial landlord and tenant arises, swift legal action can significantly affect the amount of money lost. Sometimes, disputes can be solved relatively quickly once our attorney steps in. We may remind the other party of the clauses in the contract they signed and the penalties for violating these clauses. Or, we may need to take more aggressive action on your behalf, like going to court or demanding arbitration or mediation.
We represent both tenants and property owners in commercial tenancy disputes, including matters such as:
