Advising On Rent Reviews
The majority of commercial leases include a provision allowing for rent adjustment over time. This ensures that the landlord continues to collect rent that is commensurate with the property’s genuine value.
Rent reviews are typically conducted every three to five years, and the lease will describe the dates, method, and procedure for conducting rent reviews, as well as how any disputes will be resolved.
A rent review handled improperly can have negative consequences for both landlords and tenants. Tenants risk getting locked into an inflated rent agreement, which could ultimately result in the tenant’s business failing. Similarly, landlords would want to ensure they are receiving the maximum rent possible in the circumstances.
Dealing with renewing a commercial lease can not only be stressful, but highly disruptive. Whether you are an individual, entrepreneur, company or partnership, the process of lease renewal can be complex and time consuming. This is why it is important you are able to speak to legal experts who can provide all the guidance you need to emerge from a lease negotiation with the result you are after.
The team at Blackstone is highly experienced in dealing with all forms of contract law and we always work very closely with our clients to ensure we fully understand the issues faced by them or their business. By working together, we can ensure we devise a pragmatic solution that meets your commercial objectives.
