Planting The Seeds For Long Term Success
Every lease represents both a legal obligation and a financial opportunity.
How that lease is negotiated in the beginning, or at renewal, has lasting consequences.
When it comes to lease negotiations, tenants face a fundamental question: “Who should represent my interests?”
Too often, tenants:
- Attempt to negotiate their lease independently;
- Engage someone who negotiates leases only occasionally; or
- Delay professional involvement until a problem arises.
A more prudent approach is to retain a qualified professional whose core expertise lies in lease negotiation and advisory services.
💡Value vs. Actual Cost
Ask yourself:
- "Will the cost of a professional be less than rental savings?"
- "Is there anything unusual in my lease?"
Poorly negotiated leases often take years to reveal their impairment and rarely appear to be a problem until one arises.
When you discover what you signed many years ago, it is too late to act.
Landlords have a very long-term vision for their property. Do you have a 40-year plan for your practice, and do you have that vision when you sign or renew a lease?
📘 Case Study One: Lease Renewal & Retirement Security
A dentist approaching retirement needed to renew a well-negotiated lease to complete the sale of her thriving practice.
The landlord was deliberately delaying the renewal, hoping to add an early termination clause once the existing option expired. The tenant, initially handling the matter herself, sought our assistance after facing prolonged inaction.
We intervened promptly, exercised the renewal option correctly, and prevented the landlord from introducing any unfavourable changes.
Result:
✅ Sale completed
✅ Retirement achieved
✅ $750,000+ saved in relocation costs avoided
🏢 Case Study Two: Relocation (RELO) Clause Successfully Managed
A lease contained a carefully crafted, pro-landlord relocation clause. We knew that a RECLO was inevitable, many years in advance, so we looked out 20 years and saw the future. The landlord attempted to invoke it after 15 years of unimpaired tenancy, requesting the tenant move to on-property, yet inferior premises at their own expense.
Thanks to strategic advise during the initial negotiation, the landlord paid the majority of the RELO costs, and the practice was never forced to close.
Result:
✅ Operations uninterrupted
✅ Our client has a brand new office – built to his specs
✅ $875,000+ in RELO costs avoided
