  • 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.

            11.1  Condemnation   of   Building.   In  the  event  the  whole  or
substantially  the whole of the  Building or the Premises are taken or condemned
by  eminent   domain  or  by  any  conveyance  in  lieu  thereof  (such  taking,
condemnation  or  conveyance in lieu thereof  being  hereinafter  referred to as
"Condemnation"),  the Term shall  cease and this Lease  shall  terminate  on the
earlier of the date the condemning  authority takes possession or the date title
vests in the condemning authority.

            11.2  Inability to Restore. In the event any portion of the Building
shall be taken by Condemnation  (whether or not such taking includes any portion
of the Premises),  which taking, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, is such that
the  Building  cannot be restored  in an  economically  feasible  manner for use
substantially  as originally  designed,  then Landlord shall have the right,  at
Landlord's  option, to terminate this Lease,  effective as of the date specified
by Landlord in a written notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant.

            11.3  Condemnation  of  Premises.  In the event that a portion,  but
less  than   substantially  the  whole,  of  the  Premises  shall  be  taken  by
Condemnation,  then  this  Lease  shall  be  terminated  as of the  date of such
Condemnation  as to the portion of the Premises so taken,  and,  unless Landlord
exercises  its option to terminate  this Lease  pursuant to Section  11.2,  this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the remainder of the Premises.
If a Condemnation shall result in a taking of less than all of the Project,  and
in Tenant's  reasonable  judgment  such  Condemnation  shall render the Premises
untenantable or unsuitable for Tenant's  current use of the Premises  (including
as to the  availability  of adequate  parking for Tenant's use of the Premises),
Tenant  shall have the right to  terminate  this Lease  forthwith  upon  written
notice to  Landlord  given no later  than  thirty  (30) days after the date such
Condemnation occurred. In the event of such a termination, all Base Rent paid in
advance  shall  be  apportioned  as of the date the  Condemnation  occurred  and
refunded  to  Tenant,  as  appropriate.  All  amounts  due for  Taxes  shall  be
apportioned as of the date the Condemnation occurred.

            11.4  Apportionment  of Rent.  In the event of  termination  of this
Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, the Rent shall
be apportioned as of such date of  termination;  provided,  however,  that those
provisions of this Lease which are  designated  to cover matters of  termination
and the period thereafter shall survive the termination hereof.

            11.5  Award. All compensation awarded or paid upon a Condemnation of
any  portion of the  Project  shall  belong to and be the  property  of Landlord
without participation by Tenant, Nothing herein shall be construed,  however, to
preclude  Tenant from  prosecuting  any claim  directly  against the  condemning
authority  for moving  expenses and damage to, and cost of removal of,  Tenant's
Property.

      12.   DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES OR BUILDING.

            12.1  Tenant's  Termination  Right.  If the  Premises are damaged by
fire, casualty or structural defect so that the Premises, in Tenant's reasonable
judgment,  cannot be used of Tenant's current or intended use thereof, or if the
Building shall be partially damaged that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access
to the  Premises or as a result of the damage or any other  occurrence  which is
beyond Tenant's  reasonable  control renders the Premises,  or any  appurtenance
thereto,  inoperable or unfit for Tenant's  occupancy or current or intended use
in whole or in part, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving notice (the "Termination  Notice") to Landlord not later than ninety (90)
days  following  the  date  that  the  damage  occurred. If  Tenant  delivers  a
Termination  Notice, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated in the manner
set forth in Section 12.3 below.

            12.2  Restoration.  If the  Premises  are  damaged  by fire or other
casualty,  or if the  Building  and the Tenant does not elect to  terminate  the
Lease pursuant to Section 12.1 above,  the damage shall be repaired by Landlord,
at Landlord's cost, to substantially  the condition of the Premises prior to the
damage.  Until the  restoration  of the Premises is  substantially  completed or
would have been  substantially  completed but for delays  caused by Tenant,  the
Rent  shall  be  reduced  beginning  on the  date  the  damage  occurred  in the
proportion by which the area of the part of the Premises which is not usable (or
accessible) and is not used by Tenant bears to the Rentable Area of Premises.

            12.3  Effect of  Termination.  If this Lease is terminated by Tenant
pursuant to Section  12.1 above:  (a) the Term shall  expire upon the  thirtieth
(30th) day after notice of such  termination  is given;  (b) Tenant shall vacate
the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord; (c) Tenant's liability for Rent
shall  cease as of the date of the damage;  (d) any prepaid  Rent for any period
after the date of the damage  shall be promptly  refunded by Landlord to Tenant;
and (e) those  provisions  of this Lease which are  expressly  stated to survive
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive.

during the Term of this Lease the following insurance:

<PAGE>

            14.3  Increased Insurance Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
any  increase  in the  cost of any of  Landlord's  insurance  pertaining  to the

maintained by Tenant under this Lease.

      15.   SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.  This Lease is subject and subordinate
to the lien or security  title of any  presently  existing or hereafter  created
Mortgage,  and to all existing recorded restrictions,  covenants,  easements and
agreements with respect to the Project,  or any part thereof,  and all renewals,
extensions,   amendments,    modifications   and   restatements   thereof.   The
subordination  created hereby is self-operative  and no further instrument shall
be required to effect such  subordination  of this Lease.  Nevertheless,  Tenant
agrees to execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably  request to evidence
and memorialize such subordination. If the interest of Landlord under this Lease
shall be  transferred  by reason of exercise of a power of sale,  foreclosure or
other  proceeding for enforcement of any Mortgage,  Tenant shall be bound to the
transferee  (hereinafter  referred to as the "Purchaser"),  at the option of the
Purchaser,  under the  terms,  covenants  and  conditions  of this Lease for the
balance of the Term  remaining,  and any  extensions or renewals,  with the same
force and effect as if the  Purchaser  were the  "landlord"  hereunder,  and, if
requested by the Purchaser,  Tenant shall attorn to such Purchaser and agrees to
be bound and obligated  hereunder to the Purchaser as the "landlord"  under this
Lease.  The  foregoing  provisions  are  self-operative  and  require no further
instruments  to give  effect  thereto;  provided,  however,  that  Tenant  shall
promptly  execute and deliver any instrument  that such Purchaser may reasonably
request:  (a)  evidencing  such  attornment;  (b)  setting  forth  the terms and
conditions  of  Tenant's  tenancy;  and (c)  containing  such  other  terms  and
conditions  as may be  required  by such  Purchaser,  provided  such  terms  and
conditions  do not increase the Rent of otherwise  increase or adversely  affect
Tenant's  obligations  hereunder or adversely  affect Tenant's rights under this
Lease.

      16.   DEFAULT.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
event of default hereunder by Tenant (each, an "Event of Default");

            16.1  Failure  to Pay  Rent.  The  Rent  payable  under  this  Lease
(including  any  Additional  Rent) or any sum of money due hereunder is not paid
when due,  and such  failure to pay  continues  for more than  fifteen (15) days
after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant


                                       10
<PAGE>

            16.2  Other Defaults. Tenant fails to observe, perform and keep each
and every one of the other covenants, agreements,  provisions,  stipulations and
conditions contained in this Lease to be observed, performed and kept by Tenant,
including, without limitation, the Rules and Regulations,  and, unless otherwise
specified herein,  such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice from
Landlord  to Tenant  requiring  that  Tenant  correct  such  failure;  provided,
however,  that in the event any such failure is not  reasonably  susceptible  of
cure within such thirty (30) day period,  Tenant shall have a reasonable time to
cure such  failure,  provided  Tenant  commences  cure as soon as is  reasonably
possible, and prosecutes such cure diligently to completion.

      17.   REMEDIES.

            17.1  Landlord's  Remedies.  Upon  the  occurrence  and  during  the
continuance of an Event of Default,  Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice
in writing to Tenant (such termination to be effective forthwith,  or on a later
date stated in said notice,  if any),  and if  possession of the Premises is not
surrendered by Tenant, Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises or any part
thereof in the name of the whole and  repossess  the same.  In  addition  to the
foregoing  remedies,  Landlord shall have any other right or remedy available to
Landlord  on the  account  of any  Event of  Default  that has  occurred  and is
continuing to the extent that such other  remedies as are available at law or in
equity.  The  exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights and remedies
provided in this Lease shall not prevent the subsequent  exercise by Landlord of
one or more of the other rights and remedies  herein  provided.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided herein,  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts
to  mitigate  any  damages  its  suffers  as a  result  of  the  occurrence  and
continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.

            17.2  Survival.  The  foregoing  provisions of this Section 17 shall
survive the  expiration or earlier  termination of this Lease and shall apply to
any renewal or extension of this Lease.

authority  to enter  into this  Lease and that  Tenant,  while  paying  Rent and
performing  its other  covenants and agreements  contained in this Lease,  shall
peaceably  and quietly  have,  hold and enjoy the  Premises for the Term without
hindrance or disturbance  from Landlord,  subject to the terms and provisions of
this Lease.

      19.   SURRENDER OF PREMISES.  At the expiration or any earlier termination
of this Lease,  Tenant shall  peacefully  vacate and  surrender the Premises and

accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3),  ordinary wear and tear, loss by
fire or other casualty and Condemnation excepted.

      20.   HOLDING OVER.  Should Tenant continue to hold the Premises after the
expiration  or earlier  termination  of this Lease,  such holding  over,  unless
otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing, shall constitute and be construed as
a tenancy at sufferance  and not a tenancy at will, at monthly  installments  of
Rent equal to one hundred  fifty percent  (150%) of the monthly  portion of Base
Rent in effect as of the Lease  Expiration Date or date of earlier  termination,
as the case may be, and, subject to all of the other terms, charges and expenses
set forth herein. No holding over by Tenant,  whether with or without consent of
Landlord,  shall  operate  to  extend  or renew  the Term  except  as  otherwise
expressly  provided in a written agreement executed by both Landlord and Tenant.
The  provisions  of this  Section 20 shall  survive  the  expiration  or earlier
termination of this Lease.

      21.   NOTICES.  Except for legal  process,  which may also be served as by
law provided any notice or communication  required or permitted  hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be sent either by: (a) personal  delivery  service  with

nationally  recognized  overnight  delivery service;  or (iii) if sent by United

postmark  date  appearing on such return  receipt.  Any notice or  communication
which  cannot be delivered  because of failure to provide  notice of a change of
address as herein  provided or for which  delivery is refused shall be deemed to
have been given and  received on the date of attempted  delivery.  Any notice or
communication  required or permitted hereunder shall be addressed to Landlord at
Landlord's Address and to Tenant at Tenant's Address, or at such other addresses
as  Landlord  or Tenant  may have  designated  by  notice to the other  given as
