Resolved Question: Is a commercial lease transferable to the new owner (landlord) of property?

I purchased a commercial building in the state of Wisconsin a couple years ago. I have a tenant who has given me 30 days notice stating that their lease is not valid since I did not transfer lease to me and have lease redrafted/signed, etc. Before I go and waste money on attorney, I figured I would check here for responses. Lease terminates 6/30/09 and renews annually - tenant gave notice for 1/2/09tenant has leased a new space and states that they do not have to honor lease terms. more

Voting Question: Starting my own FM radio station...where do I begin?

To start a music-playing, probably-commercial FM radio station, what would I need? How much would it cost? Could you point me in the way of a comprehensive guide? (please don't send me themulcher. As helpful as they are, it costs $265 to get a drop of information out of them, and I'm a little strapped for cashizzel at the moment) How far could I expect to send my signal on a severely limited budget? How much would a decent signal set me back? Is it possible to homebrew a radio station? Would I have a big antenna on my roof, or is it absolutely necessary to lease a separate stretch of property to set up camp? How strict is the FCC in monitoring obscenity on air? Thanks in advance for any information you may give. ^_^ I'm only a high school student, so my own radio station is obviously quite unfeasible for me, but I'm very interested in the subject and would like to scrounge up some information for future endeavors. more

Resolved Question: My fiance and I moved into a condo 2 months ago and when we were looking at the condo the landlord had told us?

that we could park my fiances commercial vehicle (work truck) in the driveway as long as it didn't stick out past the driveway, we told her if it didn't fit we wouldn't park it there, it did fit , and we parked it there and we got a complaint and written copy of the condo rules from the condo association, stating that no commercial vehicles were allowed on the property overnight, well she had never told us that or given us a copy of those rules, and our lease says nothing about that, at the time we told her it was no problem and tried finding another place for him to park but now it is winter and near impossible, can we get out of the lease agreement legally because of her omission and our inconvenience? more

Resolved Question: What are her rights in a commercial rental property?

My mom bought a commercial property a few years ago, which is occupied by two business. Currently her nail saloon is one of the business and she has been leasing to a hair stylist with her own hair salon business. Well the hair stylist rents out 3 booths at her business. Well a few days ago there was a problem with the electric in the building. The tenant that owns the hair salon is pulling way to much power on her side of the building because of the 3 booth rentals using power and this is making electrical problems for the building. Well the business owner of the hair saloon hired an electrician to fix the problem and a verbal agreement was made to split the cost between my mom and her. But now all of the sudden the tenant is refusing to pay and wants my mother to pay the electrician. Should she have too? There would be no problem with the electrical parts if she wasn't pulling to much power....??? more

Resolved Question: Is Personal Credit/Income Necessary to Buy Income Property?

Hello, I have saved enough where I can afford to purchase income property, such as a small 4-unit building that's fully leased. However, my credit is poor. Personal credit and income are both obviously necessary to buy a home, which does not generate any income. However, what is the case with commercial property that generates a certain sum that when combined with a necessary down payment pays for the mortgage itself, is personal credit and income necessary in that case? If so, what are some basic ballparks? If not, what is more important, the down? Other collateral? Thanks in advance! more

Voting Question: landlord needs to pay up? ?

My year long lease ended and my landlord sent me a renewal. I wasn't sure if I was staying or not so I didn't notify him of acceptance or rejection. I noticed that I automatically accepted the new lease by not notifying him. I then decided to move out and moved just right next door to a new landlord's property. I notified my landlord by phone (left a voicemail) a week prior that I would be moving out. That was the last I've even spoken to him. I have left him a voice mail also that I wanted my sec deposit back. He never called me back or gave it to me. I contacted my lawyer who said he will write hima letter of Section B (below) because he never sent me a list of damages or reasons for withholding the deposit. (oh yea, i sent him a written letter of my vacating and my new addreess) it has been 30 days. Do you think I will get my deposit back? according to below, i should get DOUBLE? what do you all think?? Section 250.512. Recovery of improperly held escrow funds (a) Every landlord shall within thirty days of termination of a lease or upon surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises, whichever first occurs, provide a tenant with a written list of any damages to the leasehold premises for which the landlord claims the tenant is liable. Delivery of the list shall be accompanied by payment of the difference between any sum deposited in escrow, including any unpaid interest thereon, for the payment of damages to the leasehold premises and the actual amount of damages to the leasehold premises caused by the tenant. Nothing in this section shall preclude the landlord from refusing to return the escrow fund, including any unpaid interest thereon, for nonpayment of rent or for the breach of any other condition in the lease by the tenant. (b) Any landlord who fails to provide a written list within thirty days as required in subsection (a), above, shall forfeit all rights to withhold any portion of sums held in escrow, including any unpaid interest thereon, or to bring suit against the tenant for damages to the leasehold premises. If the landlord fails to pay the tenant the difference between the sum deposited, including any unpaid interest thereon, and the actual damages to the leasehold premises caused by the tenant within thirty days after termination of the lease or surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises, the landlord shall be liable in assumpsit to double the amount by which the sum deposited in escrow, including any unpaid interest thereon, exceeds the actual damages to the leasehold premises caused by the tenant as determined by any court of record or court not of record having jurisdiction in civil actions at law. (c) The burden of proof of actual damages caused by the tenant to the leasehold premises shall be on the landlord. (d) Any attempted waiver of this section by a tenant by contract or otherwise shall be void and unenforceable. (e) Failure of the tenant to provide the landlord with his new address in writing upon termination of the lease or upon surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises shall relieve the landlord from any liability under this section. (f) This section shall apply only to residential leaseholds and not to commercial leaseholds. more

My lease is done on January 1, but I'd like to move out now. This is a commercial lease, and I don't want to be "abandoning" the property, but I am renting elsewhere and need to open my doors for business asap. Are there any laws against this?

Resolved Question: Owning Commercial Building Instead of Leasespace?

My husband and I are having a discussion about our shop lease space, and the current economic climate. I feel that for the best security of our business, we should own the building but, at present, the owners are not interested in selling. This brought up a question that neither of us had considered before. If a commercial property owner was in financial trouble and was was foreclosed on, or could not pay their taxes, what happens to the tenants? Would the bank or government contact us about buying the property? Or, would our business just be kicked to the curb? If that happened, would we have any legal recourse? I was curious if anyone had experience with this issue, and could comment on it. more

Resolved Question: Help on convenant on commerical garage just bought?

Hi I recently bought a commercial garage, which my intial plans where to run a tyre business out of. When i was buying the garage from the previous owner he insisted that i could not carry out any mechanic work or MOT's for a year, apart from the fitting of tyres and alloy wheels. This wass so he wouldnt have to pay the redunancy too his employees. This was because i wasnt buying the business just the premises. Now 6 months have passed and my business is not doing as well i thought it would and i have had an offer from someone which would like to rent the garage off me. He is a mechanic and would like to start MOT's again. Now does this convenant that was placed for a year only apply to me or will it apply to my new tennant. I know i can wait for another 6 months then do what i want to, but this guy is really eager to rent this property from me. Do i have to get this convenant removed or can i just lease the premises out to this mechanic because the convenant is between me and the previous owner and not my tennant. I hope this all makes sense. any help would be appreciated. Thankyou more

Resolved Question: Commercial Lease in California - Retroactive COLA Increase?

I am a small business owner and I have leased a building for the past 7 years, 3 years remaing on the lease. The lease provides for annual cost of living adjustment (COLA) increases; however, the landlord never requested that I pay a COLA increase. The property was recently sold and the new owner is claiming that he is entitled to receive the past COLA increases (for last 7 years) for which the previous owner never sought payment. I am looking for any legal authority, California or otherwise, that demonstrates whether or not I am obligated to make the retroactive COLA payments to the new owner. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Are there any rent control laws for non-residential tenants?

Does anyone know of any place or ordinance that provides some form of rent control for leases on non residential property? for the small independent business owner? The mom and pop corner store? I am so tired of seeing yet another cell phone, cable, loan stop, check cashing, and real estate brokerage move in to the spaces where those unique wonderful little shops, owned and operated by the locals, once flourished. Commercial landlords can be just as greedy as the slumlord owner. It just seems wrong to force out a meaningful local member of the community and replace with yet another piece of big business blight! I've witnessed the rent-induced demise of too many great local businesses: such as my local guitar and music store, my vacuum repair shop, my jewelery repair, and one of my favorite little independent grocery stores. All of these proprietors were forced out by greedy and unscrupulous landlords who imposed impossible increases in rental rates. (some increases were 25-45%). I would love to hear from any one out there who knows of a city or locality with protections in place for their small business owners with regards to rental increases. more

Resolved Question: Is a garage rental in San Francisco a commercial lease?

I have had an issue with a rental agency. I didn't know my old lease prevented me from putting personal property in an (enormous) multi-car garage that I had rented for 3-4 years. The lease, it turns out, lets them haul away any personal belongings left there. The REAL question I have is since this is NOT a residence for me, does it qualify as a commercial lease? I believe if it's a commercial lease, they are required to hold property for 30 days before disposing of it. Were they bound by Cali and/or SF law to hold property for 30 days before destorying it? (FYI: The garage was in a residential apartment build, but I just didn't live there.) This is a really fuzzy area. Thanks for your opinions.Yes, rent was current and had just been paid a few days prior...The factor here is whether they're required to hold property (everything I owned at the time, not "trash") for 30 days by law or whether they can take it to the dump (a.k.a. some asshole just got a new houseful of electronics). The company played the "blame the Mexican" game, saying the guy they hired to clean it out wasn't supposed to do it. more

Resolved Question: How much would a lease on a band practice space cost?

We don't need a lot of square footage, just a decent sized room would do. We're in NE Minnesota. more

Resolved Question: Commercial Real Estate Joint Venture?

Voting Question: I am LLC Real Estate Co who did a personal guarantee on a lease now in default. Can I protect Agent Commissio

Unfortunately I got caught in the burst of the bubble in real estate and have not been able to pay my debts. How can I protect my agents commissions from garnishment that is as a result of a personal guaranteed on a commercial lease? We have only sold three (3) properties this year, and less than five (5) last year. We are trying to hold on until the market turns. In the meantime, an order of garnish has been set against my personal bank account because that was the only one they could find at that bank. If we are EVER able to close on a real estate deal, and the Agents are due their commissions, can the debtee search for other bank accounts and garnish those as well leaving my Agents without commissions? Most times commissions are paid from the title companies direct to the Agents, can the debtee get those as well? more

Resolved Question: My tenant left me with damage and expenses when he left. But I owe him money from before. Can I deduct costs?

Here's the situation: I had a commercial tenant leave recently, When they left, they left some damage on the property. They also left things that I have to deal with - some fixtures that will be a bit costly to remove. Prior to them leaving, I told them that they could take with them another piece of equipment that was there before. But now, as they have just left, I have these expenses which are also violations of our lease. And now he still wants that piece of equipment that I said I would give him. My inclination is to simply say "you can only have that piece of equipment when you make right these damages and fulfill your obligations in the lease". Can I do that? Or should I give them the equipment and then look to take action against them? I kind of don't want to do this second option because I will find myself out of pocket and in a protracted legal conflict with them if I do. Any suggestions?Tom P - That's right. I have no written agreement with this person saying that they can take the equipment. I simply told them that I would "let" them take it when they left. My only worry is if they were to try and sue me. more

Resolved Question: Water fountain at my business: Is it working or not?

I just leased a commercial property. There is what appears to be a working water fountain. When I plug it in, I hear the compressor (or whatever it is that makes water cold) kick on. However, when I push the button for water nothing happens. Is there any way to find out if the fountain works? Is there a valve that may be turned off to the fountain somewhere? I have limited access to the back of the fountain but no access to the front. The rest of the water in my space is on, and there is only one master on/off valve to the water for the space, and it's on.THANK YOU! I will try all of your suggestions in the morning and see if it is working. I sincerely appreciate the assistance. more

Resolved Question: My tenant refused to take a piece of his property when he left! Now a guy wants to buy it from me. Is this OK?

Here's the situation: My commercial tenant is leaving his rental space. We agreed to end the lease on certain conditions. I had no real problem with how it all played out, except for when I discovered a large piece of equipment that he told me he wouldn't be taking with him. At first I was kind of mad and I demanded that it be taken away. He said it would be a major hassle to do this. However, our agreement says he must do it. For a while I wasn't sure what to do. Then, all of a sudden, someone said they'd pay me decent money for the piece of equipment. And they said they would handle the dismantling and removal of this heavy item as well. While I am weighing this offer, I am wondering: Could my tenant come back and demand the equipment, despite having verbally telling me he would be leaving it and I would just have to "deal with it"? Could the tenant demand a share of the sale? If I sell it, can I still sue the tenant for breach of the lease for not taking it away? more

Resolved Question: Specific question about end of commercial lease. Please help.?

I have 2 5 ton A/C units on loan from my brother-in-law (A/C guy) that are NOT my property. He's going to resell them for at least $1000 each. They are freestanding, sitting on cinder blocks. They are the ductless type of units. They are NOT permanently mounted in any way to the building I am leasing. There is simply a hole cut in the wall for the wiring to go through to the outside part that is also sitting on cinder blocks. My landlord knew up front that these were leased, they are NOT my property, and would be removed at the end of the lease. Now that he's showing the property, he's made a point to tell me they are staying. Can he do this, knowing they are not my property to leave here and that they were deliberately not permanently mounted? What is my recourse if he holds the deposit saying that the A/C units should stay? more
