Terms of Build Out in a Commercial Lease

When you sign a commercial lease for your franchise in New York, the lease should specify what must be done to build out the business property. Not only should these specifications include what must be done to the property, but who will be responsible for doing so. This will include a statement of who will perform the construction, and who will control the performance.

Furthermore, a commercial lease for your franchise in New York should specify who will pay for the construction and how the money will be paid. If the landlord is the one who will build out the space, the lease should have controls built in, so that you can make sure the build out is done properly and on schedule. This should permit you certain recourse if the work is unacceptable.

A commercial lease should also specify who will be responsible for maintenance of the property, such as plumbing, electricity, and utility lines. This may be the responsibility of the landlord or the tenant who assumes the lease.

If you need to sign a commercial lease for your franchise in New York, you should have a New York franchise lawyer review the lease agreement. This is particularly true if you are going through your franchisor when signing a lease. You'll want to be certain that you are taking steps to avoid any legal snafus or potential franchise disputes that could happen otherwise.
