FAQs About Buying a Laundromat in Manhattan

  • What legal documents are needed when selling a laundromat?

    When selling a laundromat, essential legal documents include a Letter of Intent (LOI), Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) or Stock Purchase Agreement, lease assignment documents, equipment lists, non-compete agreements, and closing statements. The Price Law Firm ensures these documents are customized to your deal and fully compliant with New York laws.

  • Do I need my landlord’s approval to sell my laundromat?

    Yes, if your laundromat operates within a leased space, your lease likely contains an assignment clause requiring landlord approval for a new tenant. Our firm reviews and negotiates these clauses to ensure a smooth transition, avoid delays, and protect you from future liability.

  • Can I sell a laundromat with active tenant disputes?

    While it’s possible, selling a laundromat with unresolved tenant issues can reduce buyer interest and value. The Price Law Firm helps resolve these disputes—or disclose and structure them appropriately—so they don’t derail your sale or reduce your negotiating power.

  • How long does it take to sell a laundromat in New York?

    The timeline can vary, but most laundromat sales in NYC take 60–120 days from listing to closing. Legal delays can add time, which is why hiring experienced legal counsel from the start is essential. We help accelerate the process by managing the legal and regulatory steps early and efficiently.

  • Why should I use a lawyer when selling my laundromat?

    Using a lawyer ensures the transaction is not only legally sound but also strategically structured to maximize profit, reduce liability, and avoid future conflict. The Price Law Firm brings decades of New York real estate and business experience to your deal, ensuring it closes smoothly and in your best interest.

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

I required assistance with what seemed like an impossible landlord-tenant issue. I sought the Price Law Firm for a second opinion...who am I kidding I needed a real responsive attorney, who knew their craft that has emotional intelligence. I hit the jackpot with Heather, she was all of this and more. She successfully resolved my issue in a few weeks; I was dealing with situation for 2 months before I retained her. Please save yourself alot of unnecessary grief and seek the services of the Price Law Firm, you will not regret it!!

Katrina I.

Former Client

I contacted Price law firm in a frenzy to find out more information regarding the housing rights for New York City tenants during coronavirus. They were very responsive, and by responsive I mean answered in one minute. The lawyer spent a lot of time understanding my situation and their opinion about my situation. It's really important when considering hiring a lawyer that they approach you with this much compassion. I highly recommend reaching out to them if your in a similar situation. You won't regret it!

Jordyn C.

Former Client

I have an uncontrolled reoccurring noise Issues in my building where landlord doesn't take any solid actions to solve it. I had a lot of questions asked over a month and Heather went above and beyond to patiently explain and answer every single one. She helped me to send a letter to the management where she found two paragraphs violated on landlords side. I am debating now on going ahead and taking management to court, but if I will - I will definitely hire Heather to represent me. Very recommended.

Rita S.

Former Client

I reached out to this law firm for a tenant concern and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly someone responded. Heather reviewed my case and gave me useful information to help me decide whether to go forward or not. I had spoken to three attorneys before her and none of them gave me advice that I could actually use. If you're seeking a tenant law attorney willing to go above and beyond, search no further.

Dr W.

Former Client

I called this firm and spoke with Heather. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of landlord-tenant law in New York and decided to go with her to review and negotiate a lease with a shady landlord. I'm so glad I did! She was responsive, friendly and helped me out immensely. Highly recommend you go with her and her firm for any issue you may have! They're the best!
