🍽️ Lunch & Learn: Understanding Leases vs. Sub-Leases! 📚 🏠 Lease A lease is a contract between a landlord and a tenant that grants the tenant the right to use the property for a specified period in exchange for rent. Here are some key points: Primary Agreement: The lease is a direct agreement between the landlord (lessor) and the tenant (lessee). Full Responsibility: The tenant is fully responsible for the lease terms, including rent payment and adherence to all clauses. Fixed Term: Leases typically have a fixed term (e.g., one year) and are renewable under mutual agreement. Control and Use: The tenant has the primary right to use the property and its amenities according to the lease terms. Security Deposits and Rent: Rent is paid directly to the landlord, and the landlord typically manages any security deposit. 🏘️ Sub-Lease A sublease occurs when a tenant already holds a lease for a property and rents out a portion or all of the property to another party. Key points to understand: Secondary Agreement: A sub-lease is an agreement between the original tenant (sub-lessor) and a new tenant (sub-lessee), while the original tenant remains bound by the terms of the primary lease. Shared Responsibility: The sub-lessor remains responsible for the lease, including rent payment to the landlord, while the sub-lessee pays rent to the sub-lessor. Term Flexibility: The sub-lease can be for a portion of the remaining lease term and may offer more duration flexibility. Partial Control: The sub-lessee uses the property but does not have full rights as the original tenant and must follow the rules set by both the original lease and the sub-lease agreement. Landlord Permission: In many cases, the landlord’s approval is required for sub-leasing, and the sublease must comply with the terms of the original lease. #LunchAndLearn #RealEstate101 #LeaseVsSubLease #TenantTips #RealEstateEducation #KWRealEstate #GuelphProperties #FergusHousing #EloraLiving

As a landlord there's a temptation to list your property 'To Let' as soon as your tenant hands in their notice.. Makes sense right? Act fast! 🤔 ✋Wait - this can be extremely problematic.. … it’s a real struggle to line up the right tenant if the property isn’t ready for the market Why? ❗ It could still be occupied by the existing tenant so viewings can’t take place comfortably and the potential new tenant cant see the property in its best light. ❗ It may need works / a refresh to bring it back up to a lettable standard and promising a move in date to a tenant that you can't deliver on is a terrible way to start the tenancy. By the time it IS ready, any solid initial interest has been put off…. 😔 We've worked out the solution.. The ‘coming soon’ feature on our website means renters can now see which properties will be available in the coming weeks. Instead of encouraging them to book a viewing, interested renters can leave their details on a waiting list for first dibs. They’re automatically alerted when the listing is changed to available for them to book in a viewing. It’s a win-win-win 🤝 Void periods are reduced for the landlord with a bank of potential tenants lined up to snap up the property as soon as we are 100% confident its ready to show. 🟩 With demand high, renters benefit from getting the heads up when the property is available before it hits the open market. 🟩 We get to show a property in its best light to achieve optimum rent for the landlord.

“It’s 10:00 PM, do you know where your kids are?” Many of you might recall this memorable tagline from Fox News. This phrase came to mind after a recent discovery call with a tenant. The real estate equivalent could be: “It’s the last year of your term—do you know where your lease is and what it says?” This tenant had been in their building for years, but with recent changes in executive leadership, the lease document had gone missing and hadn’t been reviewed in detail for quite some time. Unfortunately, this situation isn’t uncommon. Many tenants sign a lease and then forget about it, only delving into the details during a real estate emergency, a conflict, or when they’re reminded of an impending expiry. This approach can be both stressful and costly. While leases are fixed, their nuances can significantly impact a tenancy and strategic planning throughout the term. Uncertainty breeds conflict, and it’s crucial to fully understand your lease throughout its duration. Here are some best practices to help you stay on top of your lease and real estate operations: - Regularly Review Your Lease: Keep the initial lease, any addendums, work letters, records of significant repairs, and deposit information properly filed. - Create a Lease Summary: Diarize critical dates like the expiry date, termination notice date, and renewal notice periods. - Understand Operating Expenses and CAM Charges: Know how they’re calculated and what costs the landlord can reasonably pass on to you. - Clarify Repair and Maintenance Responsibilities: Avoid disputes by understanding the division of repair and maintenance duties, especially for major systems like the roof and HVAC. - Know Your Renewal Rights: Be clear on your renewal rights and how market rent is defined. - Plan for Post-Lease Options: Understand your ability and the costs involved in staying in the space after the lease expires. - Prepare for Make-Good/Restoration Requirements: Know what’s required when vacating the property. Understanding these aspects of your lease is a form of preventative maintenance that can help you avoid stress and costly real estate chaos. If your lease has been gathering dust in a filing cabinet, pull it out and give us a call. We’re happy to review it and get you up to date. #commercialrealestate #leasemanagement #tenantadvice #businessplanning #cre #industrialleasing #officeleasing #GTA #AvisonYoung

CEO @ Good Life Property Management | Bringing positivity and fresh perspectives to the rental property industry | 1,400+ units in San Diego and Orange County. DRE #01744610
Ever lost your dream tenants due to the BBD? 😫 💔 The Bigger Better Deal... You've found a tenant, they passed their screening with passing colors, you offer them a lease, and you've offered them a one week window to sign! You think you're doing them a favor, but in reality, you're setting yourself up for heartache! Why? Within this one week window, they're still looking for that BBD! STOP DOING THIS! Instead, offer them 24 hours to have that lease signed! The concept is simple yet powerful: when you've carefully screened and approved a potential tenant, offer them the lease with a sense of urgency. Create a brief 24-hour window for them to make a decision. By doing so, we reduce the likelihood of them exploring other options and increase the chances of securing their commitment to our property. ⌛🏡 This time-sensitive approach helps maintain momentum and prevents potential tenants from getting caught up in the endless search for something better. We all know how tempting it can be to hold out for a seemingly more attractive offer, which can lead to delays and uncertainty. By setting a strict timeframe, we encourage tenants to make a prompt decision and commit to the agreement. Ultimately, this benefits both parties involved. 🤝💼 https://lnkd.in/ghciPJbv
