Ohio Real Estate Lease Review Attorneys
Leases are the backbone of real estate transactions, whether it’s renting an apartment or negotiating a multimillion-dollar commercial deal. However, unclear or unfair terms can lead to expensive issues down the line.
At Heban, Murphree & Lewandowski, LLC (HML Law), our attorneys have over 150 years of combined experience helping clients throughout Ohio understand, negotiate, and resolve lease agreements.
We examine every clause carefully so you know exactly where you stand and so your lease works for you, not against you.
Covering Every Type of Lease
Each type of lease comes with its own set of risks. For residential tenants, it’s the eviction rules and concerns about security deposits. Business owners need to keep an eye out for rent hikes and surprise fees. Agricultural leases often involve land use and environmental regulations, and industrial facilities can have complex liability and insurance provisions.
HML Law handles all leases in Ohio, including commercial, residential, agricultural, and industrial. Whether landlord or tenant, we customize advice based on your property, role, and goals.
Drafting, Reviewing, and Negotiating
Our attorneys are here to support you every step of the way during the lease process. When we draft new agreements, we choose clear and enforceable language to help prevent disputes before they even begin. If you already have a lease in front of you, we take the time to go through the details and explain what everything really means, so you feel confident and informed.
And if negotiation is an option, we’ll make sure your interests are represented, so key terms like renewal options, early termination rights, or repair obligations are fair and realistic.
Spotting Risks Before They Become Problems
Leases often hide risks in the fine print. We frequently find hidden costs that are passed off as taxes or maintenance, renewal terms that lock parties into unfavorable deals, and unclear clauses that can lead to disputes down the line.
In commercial settings, personal guarantees can expose business owners’ personal assets, while some landlords attempt to impose harsh eviction remedies or overlook zoning restrictions.
By catching these issues early, we help protect our clients from unexpected financial problems and potential lawsuits down the line.
Support in Lease Disputes
Even with a thorough review, disagreements can still occur. Our team has extensive experience in real estate litigation and can step in when conflicts arise over rent, maintenance, early termination, or breaches of lease terms.
We know when to negotiate a resolution and when to pursue enforcement in court. Landlords and tenants alike rely on us to protect their rights when disputes escalate.
