Landlord and Tenant Perspectives

Landlords and business tenants often have different goals—recovery of rent, protecting possession, continuing operations or negotiating an orderly resolution. We examine the executed lease, amendments, notices, payment ledger and correspondence alongside the applicable procedure and law.

Evidence and Timelines

Save signed agreements, notices with proof of delivery, correspondence, rent histories, photographs, invoices, and any pending court papers. Some issues require immediate review because procedural and contractual deadlines may apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a commercial eviction handled the same way as a residential eviction?

No. Different statutory protections, lease terms and procedural rules may apply. The commercial lease and forum need individual review.

Can the tenant challenge common-area maintenance charges?

Possibly. The lease’s definitions, reconciliation provisions and records may determine whether charges are properly assessed.

What if the lease contains an attorney’s fees clause?

Fee recovery requires evaluating the contract, the claims and applicable law; it is not automatic.
