Your Landlord Lowered the Rent. Now What?

You have convinced your landlord to lower the rent for the next nine months. He was quite generous, a 50% discount, and he's not even requiring you to payback the difference. Now what do you do?

You need to turn things around fast--its not likely your landlord will be as accommodating if you can't pay the full lease amount in month ten. You need to focus on two areas: cutting expenses and increasing revenue. You need an action plan and you need to put it into place ASAP. Here are some suggestions:

Cut/eliminate all expenses that do not affect the quality of your product or service
Work more hours, cut your employees' hours
Ask your suppliers for discounts
Market to your current customers more often and ask them for referrals (This assumes you have a database of current customer--IF YOU DON'T, Start One NOW!!!!!!)
Budget your savings on the rent for more marketing---Marketing that is measurable and has an immediate impact and yields a positive return on investment
Join a networking group that shares leads
Are you marketing online? Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace,...Do it! It's free and a great way to target your messages
Do you have any ideas I can post? Please contribute!

Write a Letter to Your Ladlord to Lower your Rent

You can just go to you landlord and ask him to lower your rent, but if that is your strategy, you have already lost. You need to be very prepared and ready to face your landlords questions and legitimate concerns....How much savings are you requesting? How long? What will you do with the savings? How can I be sure you won't be in the same position in 9 months? Will you pay it back? Will you forgo your options to renew? Do you want a new lease?

When we approach landlords on behalf of hard working entrepreneurs, we make sure we are prepared. You can see actual rent relief packages, lease modification requests, and landlord letters that we have used to save our clients thousands of dollars at myLeasemodification.com and

Your Landlord Will Help:
The Essential Guide to Lowering Your Rent & Saving your Business

ATTN: Business Owners!
The economy is acting in ways that many of us have never experienced before. Business is way down and many large, well established companies are failing. It is a pretty safe bet that your business is down too.

Have you been struggling to pay the rent?

Do you think it is possible to change the terms of your lease?

Would a lower monthly payment help SAVE YOUR BUSINESS?

Obtaining rent relief and the modification of your lease is possible. During these tough times good commercial tenants are gold, and every landlord fears another empty space. However, you must be prepared and organized before you present your plan to the landlord. As Business Brokers, we negotiate and re-negotiate a leases every time we close a transaction--it's just part of the job.

The Key to Receiving Rent Relief
Just as you initially had to apply for your lease, you must apply to your landlord for rent relief. This "Application" document is the KEY to lowering your rent.

Re-Negotiate Your Lease & Save Your Business

Cash Strapped Business Owners Negotiate Improved Lease Terms with Landlords

Riverside, CA – January 28, 2009 - According to Pablo Fonseca, landlords in the Inland Empire understand the current business environment their tenants face and they are ready to help share the economic burden knowing that a fraction of some rent is better then no rent at all.

Mr. Fonseca, a principle at Spectrum Business Advisors and LeaseDr.com, believes that landlords in today’s economic environment are more then willing to grant rent relief especially if a tenant takes prompt action and keeps the following actions in mind:

1. Just as you had to apply for your lease initially, you will need to “apply” for rent relief. This “application” will clearly explain your situation and a well thought-out plan for executing your turnaround.

2. Approach your landlord with a complete plan ASAP. The earlier you involve him/her, the more seriously he/she will take your commitment to succeed.

3. Involve a professional. A very clear signal to your landlord that you are serious about surviving (an not leaving) is involving another party to help orchestrate your lease modification.

The web site, LeaseDr.com helps guide entrepreneurs through the rent relief process. A well thought out plan, and the desire to weather this rough economy and emerge as a stronger business are key components to gaining favor with your landlord. Ultimately landlords want tenants that are in business for the long term and with the right approach they are willing to temporarily lower or even forgive rent.

Mr. Fonseca concluded by stating that, “During these tough times no one wants to lose a customer, especially one paying thousands of dollars a month. You just have to be prepared, sincere, and well organized before you present your plan to the landlord.”

Pablo Fonseca has been dealing with leases and landlords for over eight years. As a business broker with Spectrum Business Advisors, he negotiates and re-drafts leases with just about every closed sale. You can reach him at 951-235-4078 or through the web site at www.LeaseDr.com
