When Is Equipment Not 'Equipment'? Inventory Leasing or Leasing to Rental Companies
It is not unusual for a finance lessor to discover that its Lessee intends to enter into a contract with a third party whereby the Lessee delivers possession of the leased equipment to that third party. Although many finance lessors may be aware of the practical risks associated with having its leased property/collateral in the hands of a third party, many are unaware of the increased legal risks that result from such a situation. This article addresses some of the key issues. For the sake of clarity, the third party receiving possession and control of the leased equipment will be referred to as a 'Sublessee,' and the agreement between the Lessee and the Sublessee will be referred to as a 'Sublease.' It should be noted that a contract of service pursuant to which the Sublessee receives possession also constitutes a 'Sublease' for purposes of this article.

Looking at Lease Provisions from the Litigator's Angle
Frequently, commercial lease issues are brought to the attention of a litigation lawyer only after a dispute between the landlord and the tenant has erupted. Oftentimes, the dispute involves the 'boilerplate' provisions that do not raise much interest during the drafting phase because they are not considered to be economic deal points. <i>See</i> 'Revisiting Boilerplate or 'Miscellaneous' Lease Provisions' in the January 2006 issue of <i>Commercial Leasing Law &amp; Strategy</i>. This lack of interest in boilerplate provisions is a mistake because it is much easier to resolve concerns regarding those provisions ' which become very important in the litigation context ' while the parties are amicably moving toward closing a deal, rather than during the pendency of a lawsuit. Many times, disputes could have been either avoided or minimized had the parties clarified certain important issues while they were negotiating and drafting. This article discusses several leasing issues that should be carefully considered while the parties are still on friendly terms.
In the Spotlight: Assignment and Subletting Provisions Rock Your World
In the entire universe of legal and business terms that makes up the modern-day commercial lease, there are very few provisions that can change the world of the landlord or tenant. One of those world-changing provisions is the assignment and subletting provision.
Finding Uncertainty in Certain Damage Provisions
For years, careful landlords and tenants have used liquidated damages as a means to avoid the uncertainty of events beyond their control. If the tenant held over beyond its term, or the landlord breached the tenant's exclusive, liquidated damages were considered a dependable remedy to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. Unfortunately, what seems certain to lease drafters is anything but certain when presented in court. A recent decision from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia underscores that point.
