Commercial Leasing – Illinois Landlord-Tenant Law

Commercial leases are relatively lengthy and complicated because they account for a significant portion of business overhead. Mr. Arendt understands the unique issues involved in commercial lease relationships and applies this insight when negotiating, drafting, and litigating commercial lease disputes.

Breach of contract disputes that arise from a commercial lease often involve issues like conflicting interpretations of lease terms, build-out conditions, non-payment of rent, violation of lease conditions, and changes in conditions and circumstances that adversely impact a business.
