Commercial Lease Representation for Landlords
Protecting property cash flow, asset value, and default recourse for New York commercial building owners and asset managers. Custom lease drafting and enforcement structured around how landlords actually operate.
Our Approach to Landlord Representation
In commercial leasing, many attorneys view a lease as a static set of boilerplate rules to be imposed on tenants. At Butnick Law, our approach starts by sitting down with you to listen carefully to how your property actually functions and your business objectives.
We want to know: What tenant mix creates synergy in your building? What bad experiences have you faced with past defaults or holdovers? What is most important to you?
By understanding your real operational realities first, we craft leases that don't just sound tough on paper—they protect your cash flow, streamline tenant default enforcement, and make it easier to maintain high occupancy with quality, long-term commercial tenants.
Built Around Landlord Priorities

Landlord Commercial Lease FAQs
We draft specific, clear default clauses that define exactly what constitutes a breach, notice cure periods, acceleration of rent, self-help remedies where permissible under NY law, and clear personal guarantee recourse so you never have to guess your options when a tenant fails to perform.
