Commercial Leases

Bilodeau Capalbo, LLC, has vast expertise in handling commercial lease agreements and disputes. We offer crucial assistance in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial leases that represent your best interests, whether as a landlord or a tenant. We have the requisite knowledge and experience to help you navigate the complexities of commercial leases, which differ significantly from residential ones.

Commercial Leases: These are contracts between landlords and business tenants. Unlike residential leases, commercial leases often have longer terms and more flexible conditions, making negotiation a key part of the process. Bilodeau Capalbo can provide legal support and representation in these negotiations.

Types of Commercial Leases

Net Lease: The tenant pays a fixed rent plus all the expenses typically paid by the property owner.

Gross Lease or Full Service Lease: The tenant pays a flat rental amount, and the landlord pays all other property-related expenses.

Percentage Lease: The rent is a fixed amount plus a percentage of the tenant’s gross business volume.

Commercial Lease Disputes: Commercial lease disputes can arise for several reasons, including breach of conditions, monetary issues, termination of leases, destruction of premises, and abandonment. Bilodeau Capalbo can provide legal representation to resolve these disputes.

Protecting Your Rights: In Rhode Island, while residential tenants have certain protections under the law, commercial tenants do not enjoy the same protections. It’s therefore important to have a legal expert review your lease before signing to ensure your rights are protected. Bilodeau Capalbo can offer this service, ensuring you can confidently make your business decisions.
