A commercial lease dispute can affect a business’s access to its premises as well as the amount claimed under the lease. We handle nonresidential lease disputes, including allegations of breach and disagreements over commercial obligations.
Read the whole lease arrangement
We review the lease, amendments, notices, payment history, and any related guaranty. Disagreements may involve charges beyond base rent, repair obligations, the condition of the premises, or the effect of an early departure.
Plan around the business’s ongoing use
A tenant may need to keep operating while defending a demand. A landlord may need to address nonperformance without losing sight of the agreement’s requirements. We assess the disputed obligations and available litigation options.
Issues for review
- Alleged nonpayment and disputed additional charges
- Repair, maintenance, and premises-condition disagreements
- Early termination and claimed continuing obligations
Questions about this dispute
Does this page cover apartment or residential lease cases?
No. This practice page concerns commercial, nonresidential lease disputes.
Should a guaranty be reviewed with the lease?
Yes. If a claim is asserted against an owner under a separate guaranty, bring that document and the demand addressed to the guarantor.
