What people bring us.

    What you'd owe yourself if the business can't pay.

  • Licences and side letters.

What we mark for you.

  1. Anything that can make the rent go up, and how.
  2. What you must repair, and what state you hand it back in.
  3. How you can get out early, and the conditions that can trip you up.
  4. Who is personally on the hook, and for how long.

Each point is pinned to its clause and page, with a question to ask. A star marks wording that may help you.
