Commercial Landlord-Tenant Matters

The attorneys at Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C., handle an array of commercial landlord-tenant disputes and proceedings. With a deep understanding of New York’s complex real estate laws and a commitment to protecting our clients’ interests, we provide comprehensive legal services tailored to the unique needs of commercial landlords and tenants.  Weiss Zarett’s expertise includes:

  • Negotiations and Drafting of Commercial Leases. Our team of seasoned attorneys assists clients in negotiating and drafting commercial leases that are clear, enforceable, and aligned with their business objectives.
  • Lease Renewals and Terminations.  We advise clients on lease renewals, terminations, and the associated rights and obligations. We help clients navigate these processes smoothly, mitigating potential risks and conflicts.
  • Enforcing Breaches. New York has strict rules about predicate notices required to be served to enforce a commercial lease once a breach occurs and before commencing a summary eviction proceeding.  These types of notices include Notices of Default, Notices of Termination, and Notices of Nonpayment under Article 7 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law.
  • Summary Eviction Proceedings. Navigating eviction proceedings in New York requires precise legal knowledge of the commercial lease at issue, the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, and the Court system. Our attorneys handle both initiating eviction proceedings and defending eviction actions.
  • Dispute Resolution and Litigation. Commercial landlord-tenant disputes often litigated in Supreme Court, outside of summary-eviction proceedings, when recovering possession of the subject property is not always at issue. Prominent among such disputes include Yellowstone applications to enjoin termination and eviction, declaratory-judgment actions to determine the parties’ rights under the lease, and litigation to obtain money judgments under commercial leases or personal guaranties. Regardless of the issue, when such conflicts arise, we are prepared and ready to advocate vigorously on behalf of our clients to achieve favorable outcomes.
