Landlord Solutions For Avoiding Uncertainty
In today's commercial real estate market, uncertainty is about the only real thing that is certain. Between ever-changing consumer tastes, increased Internet shopping in lieu of customers traveling to brick-and-mortar retail stores, greater competition between national franchises and mom-and-pop shops, tighter availability of lender financing, and the uncertainty of what will happen under a new government administration, the road ahead begs many questions without clear answers for commercial landlords. In this period of flux, where landlords no longer enjoy the same position of strength and leverage they once had over prospective tenants, it is critical to try and negotiate independent guarantees that best suit each particular deal and (hopefully) hedge against the downside of a potential tenant default and resulting litigation.
As with any other contract, lease negotiations are a process of give and take. In the world of personal guarantees, landlords have many options at their disposal, including a variety of full and limited guarantees that range in scope, coverage and duration. Herein, we briefly highlight some of the particularities and nuances of guarantees that commercial landlords and their attorneys should bear in mind during lease negotiations.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
