Commercial Landlord-Tenant

At Kistemaker Business Law Group, we understand the unique challenges that commercial landlords face when managing property and navigating tenant issues. Commercial leases are often more complex than residential leases, and disputes can arise over various issues, from commercial lease evictions to tenant default.

Our team is here to provide expert legal counsel and representation, ensuring your rights as a commercial property owner are protected.

Experienced globally. Serving locally.

Commercial Eviction Process: Ensuring a Smooth Lease Termination

When issues arise, such as tenant default, nonpayment of rent, or breach of lease agreement, eviction may become necessary. Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling the commercial lease eviction process, including situations involving holdover tenants, quiet enjoyment, and lease termination. We guide landlords through every step, from issuing a notice to cure or quit to filing a forcible detainer action if needed.

Lease Disputes & Lease Enforcement

Commercial landlords often encounter disputes over triple net lease terms, common area maintenance (CAM), and tenant improvements. Whether it’s a conflict over commercial rent arrears or issues related to lease enforcement, we offer strategies to resolve disputes quickly and effectively. We also assist in defending against claims of tenant harassment and landlord retaliation, ensuring that your actions are always compliant with eviction laws and fair treatment practices.

Defending Against Unlawful Detainer Actions: Protecting Landlords’ Rights

In addition to handling evictions, we also focus on defending unlawful detainer actions and providing eviction defense strategies when landlords face claims of wrongful eviction. Our team helps to mitigate damages and offers sound legal advice in defending against tenant fraud defense or allegations that you’ve violated the lease term or other legal agreements. We work to ensure your rights as a property owner are upheld.

Tenant Default & Commercial Lease Termination

When tenants fail to meet the terms of their lease, landlords may need to terminate the commercial lease agreement. We assist landlords in managing commercial lease termination and advise on the most effective actions to take in the case of tenant default or disputes over the lease surrender process. Whether the issue involves tenant fraud, mitigation of damages, or disputes over tenant improvements, our team is ready to offer guidance on how to proceed.

Property Owner’s Rights & Compliance with Lease Laws

Commercial landlords must be vigilant in protecting their property and ensuring compliance with commercial eviction laws. Our legal team provides advice on landlord eviction rights, handling rent collection disputes, and defending landlords against retaliatory eviction claims. We work with property owners to ensure compliance with local regulations and to uphold your rights when dealing with tenants.
