Tenants & Landlords
Before You Sign
Let us review. We catch the clauses that could hurt you later.
The Situation
You're about to sign a lease—residential or commercial—and you want to make sure you understand what you're agreeing to. Or you're renewing and the landlord is adding new terms.
What We Do
We review the lease line by line, identify problematic clauses, and explain what they mean in plain English. Where possible, we negotiate modifications to protect your interests.
What You Can Expect
A lease you understand, with the worst provisions modified or removed. Or a clear recommendation to walk away if the terms are too risky.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- • Signing without reading
- • Assuming standard clauses are non-negotiable
- • Not understanding renewal terms
- • Ignoring personal guarantee clauses in commercial leases
