For Tenants
Sign the space, not the trap
- True occupancy cost. Base rent plus CAM, taxes, insurance, and escalations, calculated before you fall in love with the space.
- Guaranty exposure. Personal guaranties negotiated down, capped, or burned off over time wherever the market allows.
- Buildout & allowances. Who builds what, who pays, and what happens if delivery is late.
- Exit and flexibility. Assignment, subletting, renewal options, and early termination rights that keep your business mobile.
For Landlords
Protect the asset, keep it earning
- Qualified tenants. Real screening on financials and guarantors, not just a completed application.
- Terms that hold up. Deposits, defaults, remedies, and maintenance obligations aligned with how Florida law actually works.
- Market positioning. Rates and concessions set from current comps, so the space leases without leaving money on the table.
- Renewals & escalations. Options and increases structured to keep the asset's value climbing with the market.
Either Side
The lease should say what the deal was
Business terms are negotiated by your agent. When the document itself needs drafting or revision as legal work, Scheer Legal handles it under a separate engagement, so nothing gets lost between the handshake and the signature. More on contracts and structure.
