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.

Re: 124 University Avenue Lease

Dear Kevin, Howard and Sarah,

     It has been a pleasure working with you for the 124 University Sublease.
Thank you again!

     I'm sorry for the delay in getting you the lease. I wanted to ensure you
had all the pertinent names and numbers for this building. Listed below are all
of the contact names I have. Nancy Dean is the best bet for any property
management issues. If she redirects you to Pete's contact as you are a subtenant
of the building, they will in turn contact Nancy to get any issues resolved. I
have also provided the Landlord name in case there is a change in property
managers.

Names:

1.  Jim Boltz, Director of Finance
    Gambrina's (Pete's is a subsidiary of Ganbrina's)
    1400 San Pedro, 3/rd /Floor, San Antonio, Texas, 78232
    210-490-9128

2.  Paul Fagan, Real Estate Consultant in Texas for Gambrina's
    210-824-9080

3.  Nancy Dean, Property Manager for the Owner
    She is located in the building next door at Bellomo Architect Office

    fax: 415-394-7158

     I look forward to hearing about all your success in the future. Once the
Landlord begins his construction for the small add on space for the second
floor, let's discuss at that time if you think you will need more space. The new
space will be in the 420 square foot range. The third floor is available again
as the last deal fell through. The one back space is about 850 square feet.
