How We Help
Lease change support for Markham clients.
We review assignment clauses, consent requirements, amendment wording, continuing liability, guarantees, deposits, rent changes, permitted use changes, and renewal terms.
A Markham commercial lease may need to be assigned during a business sale, ownership change, or transfer to a new operator. It may need to be amended when rent, use, space, repairs, term, or renewal rights change.
Goldstone Law PC helps Markham landlords and tenants review lease requirements and document assignments, consents, and amendments clearly. We help clients avoid unclear liability after the change is signed.
Markham commercial lease changes can involve professional offices, medical and wellness clinics, restaurants, retail units, industrial spaces, technology businesses, and mixed-use premises. When a business is sold or a new operator takes over, the lease may need to be assigned with the landlord’s written approval. When the parties agree to alter rent, use, term, renewal rights, signage, repairs, or the size of the premises, the change should be set out in a proper amendment.
We help clients review the lease language that controls the process. The assignment section may require notice, information about the proposed assignee, updated insurance, payment of legal costs, confirmation that rent is current, replacement deposits, or a new guarantee. It may also leave the outgoing tenant or guarantor liable after the assignment unless the documents include a clear release. That is one of the most important points for business sellers and original guarantors to understand.
For landlords, assignment paperwork should confirm who is taking over, what conditions apply, and whether any old obligations remain outstanding. For incoming tenants, the documents should explain what lease obligations are being accepted, including repair duties, permitted use restrictions, renewal dates, deposit treatment, operating costs, and any previous amendments.
Goldstone Law PC helps Markham clients prepare and review assignment, consent, assumption, release, and amendment documents in a way that reflects the real business arrangement. Clear wording is especially useful when a transaction has several moving pieces, such as a business purchase, lender condition, landlord approval, possession date, or planned change in operations.
