Instructions
1. Bargain the rent career. Generally, the longer the growth of the charter the choice, mainly whether inclined the faculty to assign the lease with a minimum of Landlord intervention. Do your homework to determine the fair market rental value for the premise and don't simply rely on your broker's advice.
2. Look for an assignment clause. Always attempt to retain the ability to assign the lease to a third party (e.g. in the event you want to, or are forced to sell your restaurant). The Landlord will insist that he must give his prior written consent for any assignment to be valid, but you must in turn, insist that his consent can not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Too many restaurateurs do not realize the importance of having the ability to assign their lease until they are at the point where they have decided to sell their restaurant. At that point, the sale of the restaurant will be thwarted because they will not have the ability to offer the lease to the potential purchaser and the Tenant will be forced to just walk away from the premise with nothing.
3. Insert an "escape clause" in your lease in the event that your liquor license application is rejected by the NYSLA If you intend to apply for a liquor license for your premise. A fair escape clause would be that the tenant gets to void the lease in the event their NYSLA application is rejected but are required to pay all rent incurred (included any abated months) to the date of rejection. Most landlords will agree to this request with some limitation or outside rent commencement date depending on the present demand for the premise and the caliber of the proposed restaurant tenant.
The personal guaranty, if any, must also void as of that date.4. Attempt to receive the premise rent-free until the latter of the day Tenant opens the establishment to the public, or the date Tenant receives its liquor license from the NYSLA.
