Commercial Leases
Storefronts, offices, and light industrial: CAM charges, build-outs, exclusivity, personal guarantees, and renewal options.
Commercial & Residential Leasing
A lease that holds up when it matters.
Drafting and review for landlords and tenants across Northeast Ohio: storefronts, offices, and residential rentals. Know exactly what you're signing, and what happens when something goes wrong.
Why It Matters
The lease is the relationship, in writing.
A lease decides who pays when the roof leaks, what happens if the tenant's business closes, and how either side can exit. Most template leases answer those questions for the side that wrote them.
We draft and review commercial and residential leases so the terms match the deal you actually struck: rent and escalations, maintenance and repairs, defaults and remedies, renewals and exits. Plain English, flat fee, both sides of the table served (one side per deal).
What's Included
Every clause that decides a dispute.
Residential Leases
Single-family and small multifamily leases that comply with Ohio landlord-tenant law and actually protect the owner.

Asked before every signature.
There is no such thing as a standard lease, only terms someone chose. Knowing which clauses carry real risk (personal guarantees, CAM escalations, relocation rights) lets you negotiate what matters and accept the rest with open eyes.
Both, one side per deal. Landlord work spans single-family rentals to small commercial buildings; tenant work most often protects small businesses signing their first storefront lease.
Yes. We build renewal mechanics, rent escalations, and termination rights that work in your favor and stay compliant with Ohio law.
