Frequently Asked Questions
Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges are fees tenants pay toward the costs of maintaining shared areas of a property. These charges can vary significantly and should always be reviewed and negotiated carefully — including caps, exclusions, and audit rights.
Early termination rights depend entirely on what is in your lease. We review termination provisions upfront and negotiate early exit rights, subletting options, and buyout clauses before you sign — giving you flexibility if your business needs change.
A personal guarantee makes you personally liable for the lease obligations if your business defaults. Whether you can avoid one depends on your negotiating position. We advise on strategies to limit or eliminate personal guarantee requirements where possible.
