Make sure you can get out of your lease first then present those facts to your current landlord. If they dont give you a break, move.

Yes.  Landlord associations within your city have every document you need.  Look for Landlord/Tenant under the government pages and if unable to locate there, call your local chamber of commerce and ask and they'll start directing you....may take a few calls, good luck.

Just say some thing to the extent of:\n\n\n\n"Date: (Put today's date)\n\nDear Management:\n\nI will be moving out of apartment # (give your apartment number) on (give the date). My forwarding address is: (if you know the address where you will be moving to it is a good idea to include that).\n\nThank You,\n\n(Sign your name)"\n\n\n***** Now the problem I see right now as a property manager is if your lease is up at the end of the month you will not be giving a FULL 30 DAY NOTICE. You will probably be reasponsible until 30 days from the date you have turned in your notice.*****\n\n\nGood Luck

Several things, not all and not in order:\n\nWhere are your nearest competitors, do you want to compete head on or open  in an area outside their coverage?\n\nWhat is the maximum you can afford to spend each month and for how long if you make no profit (most new businesses lose money the first 6 months and are out of business the first year).\n\nWill you have employees, what will you pay them? Do you know the added costs with a payroll? Workmen's comp, matched SS, etc.\n\nHow will the accounting be done?\n\nWho  will your suppliers be, will they carry credit?\n\nDo you need a loan to start? The lender will want a detailed projection of costs and income.\n\nWill your lease include utilities or will they be separate?\n\nWill the space need to be remodeled? Lighting and display for fashions is VERY  important? If the space has been vacant for sometime, perhaps the landlord will do some of the remodeling in advance?\n\nIs there a provision in the lease to get out of it if you lose money and must close doors? Can the lease be tied to profit at all? What if you grow and need to get a larger space?\n\nAsk police department about robberies, thefts, break-ins relative to area(s) looking at. Do you need a security system? Does it need to have 24-hour monitoring? Have a button that may be pushed for a silent alarm and police call-out.\n\nHow will you accept payments, what are costs associated with credit card payments?\n\nDo you need storage space? Will the storage be suitable for protecting the items from damage? \n\nAre there changing rooms and bathrooms? You do not want potential cusotmers leaving becauase they have to go elsewhere to use the bathroom.\n\nIs there room for an office and can you monitor the retail space if you are in the office?

Be very honest with any property pwner you are looking to rent from.  Tell them the details of your situation and let them decide if they want to give you the benifit of the doubt.  Don't try to hide is as it always crops up when you do that.

Probably you may want to list it on the Web.\n\nIf it is not a one-shot situation: as in you are renting-out units, consider building your own site. A resource for this  is: http://selling-a-service.first411.com\n\nSorry - but you need to be more specific in your question so i took the liberty of sharing 2 possible options.\n\nHope this helps you. Good Luck!

WOW,\n What an opportunity. You have the answer right there. You have 330 units already rented with people who would love to save on their space. Make flyers, self or have kinkos or someone else do it. Say something like, Bring me a person who signs a contract for a place and receive a week or month free. depends how you normally charge. If  you charge 100 a month x1200 a year , and let's say 100 units take you up on this offer you loose $10,000 in free months or week  of rent. The up- side, the lost is only once(one month of free rent.). and of course you now have 100 more units rented. 100 times $100 a month = you guessed it $10,000. You really lost nothing and gained 100 more units rented. Suppose only 50 units remained after the month 50 x $100 a month =$5,000, additional  money than your current situation and very little expense from you. I would sweeten the deal and offer those that are referred a free week or free month,but of course only if the sign a longer lease. Your  customers are always looking for ways to save, they are motivated. Business cards, cheap and cheap to print on the back , 10% discount off of 1st month rent etc, with this card. Give them out to everybody,everybody. Leave them when you pay for dinner or at the cashier at the gas station, post them in apt buildings laundry mats, etc

Dunno why - I found too many to list.  Here is one at http://www.lectlaw.com/forms/f091.htm\n\nor run a yahoo or google search using "rental agreement" or "lease agreement" to get a full list.\n\nYou can also get blank rental contracts or lease agreements for minimal cost at most well-stocked stationery stores.

Ask now. Why wait? Get your name in first. I did the same thing in my old building (went from a studio to a one bedroom). The circumstances were slightly different, but it was no big deal. Call them today and set it up. If you've been a good tenant, there should be no problem and they'll be glad to rent it to someone already there.

I was "approved" for a small business loan, and they sent me a contract.  I read the contract and was ready to sign, but I needed $700 up front.  I did some research online and found someone else that had the same situation, and they wanted more after she paid the $700.  I decided this was a BAD idea!  You can find that report at http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff192497.htm\ngood luck

You should have everything in writing clearly stating everything. The rules are up to you. \n\nOvernight guests?\nParking?\nUse of common areas?\npets?\nlate rent?\nreturned check fees?\ncleanliness......the list could go on and on depending on how picky you are.

ask the property manager of the commercial place.  they will usually accomodate you, and are eager to do it since some of the people will be spending money.

I just took a look at that "free" standard agreement, and there are a boatload of problems with it.  My office gets landlords in all the time who have managed to screw themselves royally with those free forms, Staples leases, landlord.com crap, etc...  \n\nMany clauses in those leases are unenforceable because they go against state or local law.  People can't sign away their rights.  It just doesn't work that way.  Those agreements aren't written with your best interests in mind nor do they protect you or your rights in many instances.   They are like sugar pills ... you feel all secure but in reality it's worthless. \n\nThis lease doesn't include the all important term "right of reentry" which allows you to legally reclaim the unit using the notices and causes for eviction provided by the laws of your state if the tenant fails to abide by the terms of the lease. If you didn't reserve the "right of reentry" in your lease, you have given up your right to evict for anything other than non-payment of rent.   \n\nSome other problems with this lease:\n\n"A finance charge of up to 10% of rent not paid will be automatically charged to the Tenant’s account after the fifth day of the month."   Many places have laws that limit the amount of late fee that can be charged, no matter what the lease says.  This amount may or may not be legal where you are.  And many states have laws (either statutory or case) that protect people who are on pensions and such from being charged late fees at all if their checks are issued on the 5th or whatever.\n\n"If the tenant’s rent is past due and the landlord exercises his legal right to seek a judgment against the tenant in court, a $xxx fee shall apply in addition to court costs, late fees and rent due." That's basically a usury charge, and I'll bet it's unenforceable in almost every state. \n\nAlso this lease doesn't state that the court costs or late fees are considered "additional rent", and as such you probably won't be able to claim them on a non-payment complaint. \n\n"If the tenant abandons the property, the landlord may enter and relet the property. In this case, the landlord may also remove and dispose of any personal property left behind by the tenant."  Want to get sued?  You need to take legal action to regain posession of the apartment, and you must follow the law in your area regarding abandoned property.  You can't just toss it out.  Let's say your tenant disappears.  You think he abandoned the place, dump his stuff and re-rent the unit.  Your tenant shows up in a month or two and guess what?  YOU are the one in trouble.  You didn't regain legal posession of the apartment.  Those people are living in his apartment.  You threw out his stuff.  You are going to pay for this through the nose, and the few hundred dollars he owes you will be deducted from the thousands of dollars you will owe him.   We had one tenant as a client who was wrongfully detained for over a month in a foreign jail while on vacation.  He  came back to find new people in his place and all his stuff gone.  The settlement our office got for him was probably twice what most people reading this make in a year.  The landlord could easily have avoided this by taking the legal steps required to reclaim the unit and by placing the tenants belongings in storage as required under the law. \n\n" will return the balance within 30 days. The tenant must give the landlord written notice of the tenant’s new address or make other arrangements with the landlord for the return of the security deposit."   If state law say you have fewer days, then that's all you have.  In many places, if you don't return the deposit or a written statement why it is not being returned (unpaid rent, damage, etc) within the time frame allowed by law, the tenant is awarded 2 or 3 times the amount of the deposit.
