The Commercial Landlord-Tenant Cases We Handle

We’ve got the know-how and resources to assist clients with all types of commercial landlord-tenant cases, including those involving: 

• Abandonment – When commercial tenants' businesses fail, we can counsel clients on proper enforcement of contractual liens, acceleration of rent provisions, and strategies to avoid pitfalls that could create financial liability.
• Improper use violations – We’re able to help clients correct tenant misuse of leased premises through strategic enforcement that protects commercial assets and, when appropriate, preserves landlord-tenant relationships.
• Triple-net disputes – These complex leases can give rise to disputes over covered costs, maintenance obligations, and expense allocations. We can efficiently resolve all kinds of conflicts under triple-net arrangements.
• Signage and building décor issues – Our team can address disputes concerning ordinance violations, unattractive properties, and other signage/décor matters. 
• Business fixture removal – When disputes arise over what constitutes landlord-owned fixtures versus tenant-owned movable assets, we can protect and recover items that rightfully belong to commercial properties.
• Commercial evictions – We understand the critical differences between commercial and residential eviction procedures and can help clients recover possession quickly and minimize vacancy periods.
• Lockout for non-payment – We can counsel landlords on properly enforcing contractual lockout rights when tenants fail to pay rent, avoiding potential liability while protecting contractual rights.
• Lease disputes and litigation – From unforeseen maintenance issues to zoning changes and business operation modifications, we’re able to handle complex disputes that extend beyond simple non-payment scenarios.
• Lease termination issues – When circumstances change for landlords or tenants, we’re capable of prosecuting and defending suits to protect our clients' contractual rights and financial interests through lease terminations.
• Brokerage fee disputes – Our team can resolve conflicts over broker fees, whether that involves protecting clients from overcharges or making certain brokers receive rightful compensation.
• Landlord defense against personal injury claims – We can defend commercial landlords against premises liability claims, leveraging prevailing case law to guide clients through litigation and pursue early settlements when appropriate.
