What is a lease?

A lease is a contract outlining the terms under which one party agrees to rent property owned by another party. It guarantees the lessee, also known as the tenant, use of an asset and guarantees the lessor, the property owner or landlord, regular payments for a specified period in exchange.

Most landlord-tenant relationships are governed by written leases. The Law Offices of Sergey Davydov negotiates, drafts, and reviews commercial and residential leases for landlords and tenants alike. It is important that you understand your lease before you sign it. Our extensive experience with commercial landlord/tenant litigation benefits our clients in our negotiation and preparation of important clauses in leases.

Landlords or tenants who do not retain an attorney to prepare and/or review their lease often times find themselves in court spending thousands of dollars on litigation to save their tenancies and/or to terminate their tenancies. This can all be avoided if you hire an attorney that will protect you from the common pitfalls in every lease.
