Why You Need a Commercial Lease Lawyer in NYC
Commercial leases aren’t like residential leases—they are longer, more complex, and less regulated. That means greater opportunity for financial loss, especially if you’re not properly represented. Our commercial lease lawyers provide comprehensive services to ensure your lease agreement is legally sound, strategically negotiated, and tailored to your goals.
We assist clients with:
- Drafting and reviewing commercial lease agreements
- Negotiating favorable lease terms and rent structures
- Identifying and removing unfavorable clauses or hidden liabilities
- Litigating commercial lease disputes, defaults, and terminations
- Addressing lease renewals, assignments, and sublets
- Navigating rent escalation, maintenance obligations, and personal guarantees

From retail space to office buildings, medical suites to industrial leases—no matter your business or building type, we safeguard your rights and help you avoid future legal complications.

What Is the Best Excuse to Break a Commercial Lease?
In New York, breaking a commercial lease isn’t easy—but it can be legally justified under specific circumstances. Common legal justifications include:
- Constructive eviction, where the landlord fails to maintain a habitable or usable space
- Breach of lease terms by the landlord, such as failing to perform repairs
- Impossibility of performance, such as zoning changes that make business operations illegal

However, courts are strict, and not every excuse will hold. Our commercial lease lawyers can evaluate your lease, your circumstances, and advise on the most strategic, least damaging path forward—whether that means negotiating an exit or preparing for litigation.

Does a Lawyer Have to Create Your Commercial Lease Agreement?
How to Sue Your Commercial Landlord
Suing a commercial landlord in New York requires a careful legal strategy. Common reasons for suing include:

- Breach of lease

- Refusal to return a security deposit
Our commercial lease lawyers will review your lease, gather the necessary documentation, and pursue the strongest legal claim—whether through negotiation, court action, or injunction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Lease Lawyers
1. How much does it cost to hire a commercial lease lawyer in NYC?
Costs can vary based on the complexity of the lease or dispute. At The Price Law Firm, we offer a free initial consultation to assess your situation and provide a clear explanation of potential legal fees. Our goal is always to deliver maximum value while protecting your interests and reducing your long-term legal risk.
2. Can a commercial lease be negotiated after it's signed?
In certain cases, yes. If both parties agree, or if there’s been a material breach or change in circumstances, renegotiation is possible. Our commercial lease lawyers can assess your lease and advise if it makes sense to approach your landlord or tenant about changes—and how to do so without putting your rights at risk.
3. What happens if a tenant defaults on a commercial lease?
A tenant default can trigger legal action, penalties, and potential eviction. However, tenants may still have legal defenses or negotiation options. We represent both landlords and tenants in default situations, protecting your rights and working toward the best resolution—whether that's payment, settlement, or legal action.
4. Can you sue a landlord for not maintaining a commercial space?
Yes. If a landlord fails to uphold their maintenance or repair obligations under the lease, it can constitute a breach of contract. Our lawyers will evaluate the terms of the lease, document the violations, and pursue legal remedies ranging from damages to injunctive relief.
5. What is a personal guarantee in a commercial lease, and should I sign one?
A personal guarantee makes you personally liable for the lease—putting your own assets at risk. Whether you should sign one depends on your leverage, lease terms, and financial position. We advise clients on how to limit personal exposure, negotiate caps or expiration clauses, or avoid guarantees altogether when possible.
