Mr. ………………………. Dear Sir,
RE: LEGAL OPINION ON LEASE AGREEMENT
We refer to your letter dated …………….. regarding the above subject.
We have perused the draft lease agreement and our observations are as follows:
Sl. | Clause | Observations
|
01 | Preamble
Paragraph 2 |
Under the terms of this paragraph, the rent may be open to negotiation for the last 2(two) years. Please check whether the landlord agrees on it. |
02 | Article 2 | A specific date for payment of rent should be stipulated, e.g. within 5th days after expiry of every quarter . |
03 | Article 4 | The first 2 reasons seems reasonable. But it is not understandable how the third one, i.e. a reduction in the number of staff in the British High Commission, shall affect this lease.
We suggest to clarify the matter with Mr. Stevenson. |
04 | Article 6 (c) | Check whether the landlord is agreeable on execution of the suggested repair by the Lessee. |
05 | Article 6(i) | This clause provides for indemnification by the landlord to the Lessee for any damage caused by third party .
What if, should the third party associated with the Lessee. |
06 | Additional clause | We suggest to incorporate the following additional clauses numbering in order:
“Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the lease under these presents is not terminable by the either party before expiry of the Lease Term unless there is a material breach on the part of either party, in which case either party shall have the right to terminate the lease by giving 3 (three) months’ prior notice in writing to the other party”. “This Agreement shall be binding upon the successor-in-interest, legal representatives, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto”. |
Apart from the above observations, the rest of the draft Agreement is otherwise in order.
Should you have any further query, please revert back to us.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
