Since commercial landlords and tenants have so many contractual freedoms, they should negotiate hot water and janitorial expenses. A party that fails to properly plan to approach a commercial lease will waste much time reviewing and negotiate the lease later on.
Construing leases is often a matter of law. A jury will rarely resort to the parole evidence rule. Net leases often protect the landlord’s interests. New York real property law does NOT include personal property.
Increasingly, tenants and landlords understand (especially due to Covid 19 pandemic) with have well-thought out, carefully planned for, meticulously drafted, diligently scrutinized and legally executable and self-enforceable lease contract agreements.
Given the high labor costs in New York, especially with the new $15 an hour minimum wage requirement, it may be important to pay attention (to what?) when drafting for this provision within a New York City commercial lease. Regardless of any aforementioned provision, even in commercial real property leases, a landlord must give the tenant notice before terminating the lease.
The law as it pertains to lease contracts in New York, may have changed and/or continue to evolve, during the legal changes brought on by Covid 19. It is perhaps worth mentioning that even before the spread of the Coronavirus in the U.S., New York Landlord/Tenant laws and real property leasing laws, were considered highly esoteric and by many were a sign of a much need legal reform.
To better assist in a quest of further analyzing this type of question(s) as revolving per this legal guide article, it may be useful to make additional inquiries, such as: Should any pertaining lease documents be filed as a public recordation? Is it possible to make a county-specific public recordation of the pertaining lease documents? Is it permissible to have the lease be freely assignable?
