How We Help
Commercial lease support for Markham clients.
We review rent, additional rent, permitted use, repairs, renewals, transfers, guarantees, defaults, deposits, and insurance requirements.
A Markham commercial lease may involve office, industrial, plaza, restaurant, clinic, warehouse, or mixed-use space. Each lease should be reviewed for cost, repairs, use restrictions, renewal rights, assignment options, default remedies, and guarantee obligations.
Goldstone Law PC helps Markham landlords and tenants understand lease documents before signing or changing them. We provide practical review and negotiation support so clients know what the document requires.
For tenants, the lease should be reviewed before the business commits to expensive improvements, staffing, inventory, or a long operating plan. We review additional rent, repair duties, permitted use, signage, parking, insurance, renewal options, assignment rights, subletting rules, default language, and personal guarantees.
For landlords, the lease should protect the property while clearly explaining the tenant’s obligations. We help review rent payment, deposits, insurance, maintenance, default remedies, use restrictions, access rights, assignment approval, and restoration requirements.
Markham lease matters may involve offices, industrial units, commercial condos, plazas, restaurants, clinics, warehouses, or mixed-use properties. The property type and tenant use can affect build-out work, utilities, common areas, parking, signage, repairs, and restoration.
We also help clients understand how the lease affects future decisions. A business may need to renew, relocate, sell, bring in a new operator, or alter the premises. Assignment, subletting, renewal, use, and guarantee language should be reviewed before those choices become urgent.
If a signing deadline is close, we help Markham clients focus on the terms most likely to affect cost, daily operations, personal liability, and exit options. That usually means additional rent, repair responsibility, permitted use, personal guarantees, renewal timing, transfer options, insurance, and what happens if either side defaults.
We also help clients confirm that the lease reflects the business deal. Build-out work, possession dates, rent-free periods, signage, parking, deposits, common areas, and operating rules should be clear before signing.
That clarity helps reduce disputes later.

What To Watch For
Commercial lease terms Markham clients should review closely.
Business use
Markham tenants should make sure the permitted use matches the real business plan and leaves room for reasonable growth.
Additional rent
Plaza, office, and industrial leases often include costs beyond base rent that should be understood before signing.
Transfer flexibility
Assignment and subletting language matters if the tenant may sell the business, restructure, or move before the term ends.

A Markham commercial lease should protect the deal you think you made.
Business people often negotiate the main rent and term first, but the lease contains many details that shape the relationship. We help clients see those details before they become surprises.

Can you review a Markham commercial lease quickly?

Can you help with a restaurant or plaza lease?
Yes. We review lease terms for retail, restaurant, office, clinic, plaza, and industrial spaces.

What should I send for a Markham commercial lease review?
Send the offer to lease, full lease draft, renewal, amendment, assignment documents, deadline, and a short summary of your concerns.
Can you review a personal guarantee in a lease?
Yes. We review guarantee language, continuing liability, default exposure, assignment issues, and possible limits or negotiation points.
Can you review assignment rights for a growing business?
Yes. We can review assignment, subletting, landlord consent, transfer fees, continuing liability, change of control, and practical flexibility.
When should I review a Markham commercial lease?
The lease should be reviewed before signing, especially where a personal guarantee, assignment right, renewal option, or growth plan matters. Early review gives time to understand obligations before the business is locked in.
Can you explain flexibility for a growing business?
Yes. We review assignment, subletting, expansion, renewal, relocation, permitted use, signage, operating rules, and guarantee language so the lease does not quietly limit future business plans.
