Before your sign or renew your veterinary office lease,
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 office lease that permit them many unfair privileges like raising rents, relocating your practice, preventing your practice sale from happening, or worse.

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

Key Issues Uncovered in the Lease Review

  • Unexpected Clinic Relocations: Does your office lease permit your landlord to relocate your clinic? If so, who pays for moving costs, demolition and/or renovations? Will the relocation cause business down time/loss of revenue?

  • Practice Sale or Retirement Prevention: Is there language in your lease that can prevent you from selling your animal hospital, or that permits your landlord to proceeds of your eventual practice sale?

  • Lease Termination Rights: Can your landlord terminate your lease and kick you out of the building if you request to assign your practice?

  • Protection and Security: Is there death and disability protection in place that will protect your estate and family in the event something unexpected happens and you are unable to work?

  • Lease Term: Does your lease offer sufficient term and options to renew the lease, and are these options transferable to a future buyer?

  • Renovations & Improvements: Does your lease allow you to make improvements to your veterinary hospital, and upgrade the space? If so, will you be required to remove these improvements at some point down the road, on your dime?
