Free Legal Advice For A Commercial Tenant?

Free Legal Advice For A Commercial Tenant?
legal gavel by SalFalko

We have some great resources for residential tenants in our area–the Flatbush Tenants Coalition and Equality for Flatbush are hugely useful contacts to know as a local renting an apartment. But what if you’re renting retail space?

A longtime Ditmas Park merchant asked recently if we knew any individuals or organizations who could offer pro-bono services to help him better understand his rights as a commercial tenant. The end of his lease is approaching, and not only is his landlord asking for a lot more money, he’s also requiring a completely new deposit at the start of every lease term.

So, do you know any locals experienced in commercial tenants’ rights issues? It would be a shame to lose such a fixture of the community, and we’d like to help him out.
