Lease Review & Drafting
Lease Review & Drafting
Leases written to be enforced — and to win in court. Residential and commercial drafting and review for New Jersey property owners.
Residential Leases
Forms that comply with New Jersey statute.
New Jersey requires specific statutory disclosures — Truth in Renting, lead-based paint, window guards, flood disclosures, and others. Missing or outdated disclosures can void key remedies.
We draft and update residential leases that include all required language and the optional terms that matter most at trial.
- Truth in Renting compliance
- Lead, window guard, flood disclosures
- Attorneys' fees clauses
- Late fee & default provisions
Commercial Leases
Negotiated terms across the deal cycle.
Commercial leases govern multi-year financial relationships. Use clauses, exclusives, CAM reconciliations, assignment, default, and remedy provisions all carry significant downstream consequences.
We draft, negotiate, and review commercial leases — for landlords and for tenants — across retail, office, and industrial properties.
- Use clauses & exclusives
- CAM & expense reconciliation
- Assignment & subletting
- Default & remedy provisions
Review of Existing Forms
Auditing the lease you already use.
Many landlords use a template inherited from a prior owner or downloaded years ago. We audit existing forms against current law and your operational reality, then deliver a clean, updated version you can roll out portfolio-wide.
Where the gaps are not in the lease but in how it is used, we recommend operational changes alongside the redraft.
From Lease to Litigation
Drafting with the courtroom in mind.
We draft leases knowing the cases that will be tried under them. Notice provisions, fee-shifting clauses, jurisdiction, and waiver language are all written to support the case if a default occurs.
Because we litigate the same leases we draft, the loop closes.
