Free Customizable Lease Forms

  • Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

3.       Lessor will pay all expenses related to the operation of the Aircraft
         when incurred, and will provide an invoice and bill Lessee in
         accordance with paragraph 2 above on the last day of the month in which
         any flight for the account of Lessee occurs. Lessee shall pay Lessor
         for said expenses within thirty days of receipt of the invoice and bill
         therefor.

4.       Lessee will provide Lessor with requests for flight time and proposed
         flight schedules as far in advance of any given flight as possible, and
         in any case, at least 3 hours in advance of Lessee's planned departure.
         Requests for flight time shall be in a form, whether written or oral,
         mutually convenient to, and agreed upon by the parties and unless
         accepted by Lessor, shall be deemed rejected. In addition to the
         proposed schedules and flight times Lessee shall provide at least the
         following information for each proposed flight at some time prior to
         scheduled departure as required by the Lessor or Lessor's flight crew:

         (a)      proposed departure point;
         (b)      destination;
         (c)      date and time of flight;
         (d)      the number of anticipated passengers;
         (e)      the nature and extent of luggage and/or cargo to be carried;
         (f)      the date and time of return flight, if any; and

                  crew.

5.       Lessor shall have final authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft,
         provided, however, that Lessor will try to accommodate Lessee's needs
         and avoid conflicts in scheduling.

6.       Lessor shall be solely responsible for seeking maintenance, preventive
         maintenance and required or otherwise necessary inspections on the
         Aircraft, and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling
         the Aircraft. No period of maintenance, preventative maintenance, or
         inspection shall be delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling
         the Aircraft, unless said maintenance or inspection can be safely
         conducted at a later time in compliance with all applicable laws and
         regulations, and with the sound discretion of the pilot in command. The
         pilot in command shall have final and complete authority to cancel any
         flight for any reason or condition which in his judgement would
         compromise the safety of the flight.

7.       Lessor  shall  contract  for or employ,  pay for and provide to Lessee
         a qualified  flight crew for each flight undertaken under this
         Agreement.

8.       In accordance with applicable Federal Aviation  Regulations,  the
         qualified flight crew provided by Lessor will exercise all of its
         duties and  responsibilities  in regard to the safety of each flight
         conducted  hereunder, Lessee  specifically agrees that the flight crew,
         in its sole discretion,  may terminate any flight,  refuse to commence
         any  flight,  or take  other  action  which in the  considered
         judgement  of the pilot in command is necessitated by  considerations
         of safety.  No such action of the pilot in command shall create or
         support any liability  for loss,  injury,  damage or delay to Lessee or
         any other  person.  The parties  further agree that Lessor  shall not
         be liable for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft  and crew
         pursuant to this  Agreement when such  failure  is caused  by
         government  regulation  or  authority,  mechanical  difficulty,  war,
         civil commotion, strikes or labor disputes, weather conditions, acts of
         God or other unforeseen circumstances.

9.       Lessor will make its best efforts to provide such additional insurance
         coverage as Lessee shall request or require, provided, however, that
         the cost of such additional insurance shall be borne by Lessee as set
         forth in paragraph 2(d) hereof.

10.      Lessee warrants that:

         (a)      Lessee will solely use the Aircraft for and on account of its
                  own personal or business use, and will not use the Aircraft
                  for the purpose of providing transportation of passengers or
                  cargo for compensation or hire;

         (b)      Lessee shall refrain from incurring any mechanic's or other
                  lien in connection with inspection, preventative maintenance,
                  maintenance or storage of the Aircraft, whether permissible or
                  impermissible under this Agreement, nor shall there be any
                  attempt by Lessee to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or any
                  way alienate the Aircraft or create any kind of lien or
                  security interest involving the Aircraft or do anything or
                  take any action that might mature into such a lien; and

         (c)      during the term of this Agreement, Lessee will abide by and
                  conform to all such laws, governmental and airport orders,
                  rules and regulations, as shall from time to time be in effect
                  relating in any way to the operation and use of the Aircraft
                  by a timesharing Lessee.

11.      Neither this Agreement nor any party's interest herein shall be
         assignable to any other party whatsoever. This Agreement shall inure to
         the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their heirs,
         representatives and successors.
