PRE-ORDER
This handbook focuses on the key issues of representing landlords, tenants, or lenders in commercial real estate transactions. Experienced Illinois attorneys provide best-practice guidance for everything from leases, duties, and liabilities to the pitfalls of environmental issues, reorganization, and liquidation. Also extensively covered are the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and tenant, including remedies, defaults, and eminent domain. Useful tools — such as a list of generally used terminology, a detailed case study, sample language, and many readily adaptable forms — will be at your fingertips.
