Commercial Landlord Tenant Law

A commercial tenant owns the business, but does not own the building the business is in. This applies to most businesses in the United States. The laws and rights that are available to residential tenants do not extend to commercial tenants. Since the commercial landlord controls the property, a commercial tenant is vulnerable and sometimes abused.

Commercial Tenant-Landlord Legal Issues:

Commercial tenants usually go through the following issues when dealing with the commercial landlord:

  • Breach of lease
  • Inability to pay rent
  • Being overcharged for rent
  • Property damage disputes
  • Eviction proceedings
  • Collections
