OK, the economy isn't exactly ripping along.  Dips, valleys, ups and downs; its causing whiplash.  However, the worst of times often bring opportunities...and today; one of those opportunities is with leases.  We know, not a very sexy topic, but a lease can be one of the most important contracts that you or your business enter into.  And because right now commercial real estate is struggling and unpredictable, there may be conditions you can add to your lease that can protect you if everything goes to hell or special conditions that can save you money.  For example:

1.  Ask for the right to sublease your space.  If you aren't able to honor the lease all the way to the end of the term, at least you can then sublease to someone else to help alleviate the monthly expense.

2.  Negotiate a cap on any additional fees, like maintenance, association dues, utilities, etc

3.  If things are going well for you and your lease is set to expire in 2 years, now may be a good time to consider negotiating a longer term renewal in return for lower monthly payments, or in return for cosmetic improvements/upgrades.

These are random ideas that we hope will help, from your friends at BIZ TV.
