Commercial Lease Termination

Lease terminations are complex - learn what you can do when it's time to say goodbye.

The end of a lease is just as important as its beginning. A clean break will provide peace of mind and hopefully new revenue and collection of any past due rent. When the appropriate steps are taken, landlords can quickly recover their property and protect their investment. The topics covered in this presentation will provide a greater understanding of complex issues associated with the termination of a commercial lease agreement.
