Before you sign your dental office lease agreement,
do you know what you’re agreeing to?

Landlords strive to increase the value of their properties by enforcing hidden clauses in the details of your lease agreement that permit them many unfair privileges such as raising rental rates, relocating your practice, preventing your practice sale from happening, or worse.

For 20 years, Cirrus Consulting Group has been offering our clients Dental Office Lease Review and Rent Analysis services. Our lease review arms you with the information and tools essential for any upcoming lease negotiation or discussion with your landlord. We guarantee the lease review will help save you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of your lease.

What to Expect in Your Dental Lease Review

Cirrus will evaluate and analyze your dental office lease for problem areas, identify any hidden risks, and flag critical action dates. Some of the key issues and clauses our experts look for include:

Unexpected Practice Relocation: Does your office lease give your landlord the right to relocate your practice? If so, is it at your expense, or theirs?
Lease Termination Rights: Can your landlord terminate your lease agreement, and kick you out of the building at any time?
Protection and Security: Is there a death and disability clause in your lease in place to protect you and your family/estate, should something unexpected happen and you’re unable to work?

Term and Options: Does your lease have sufficient term and options to renew?
Renovations and Improvements: Does your lease give you the ability to make changes inside your clinic and upgrade the space? Will you have to remove all of those improvements at some point down the road?
Assignment Provisions: Is there anything in your lease that could affect your ability to transfer or sell your dental practice down the line?

Creating the Plan and Educating Our Dentists

Based on the issues uncovered in your lease analysis, we’ll create a tactical plan on how your lease should be structured. An expert Leasing Consultant will have a call with you to discuss the details of your practice, future career plans, and your individual lease requirements. We’ll take you through a detailed explanation of our findings of potential risks and problems, arming you with the knowledge to protect yourself in your upcoming lease negotiation with your landlord.
