3 Keys to Lowering Your Rent & Saving Your Business

Riverside, CA – January 25, 2008 – Are your lease terms set in stone? Can you negotiate with your landlord to lower your rent and help save your business?

“Yes,” says Pablo Fonseca, principal at LeaseDr.com “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.”

Your landlord will be more willing to grant rent relief when you take prompt action and keep in mind the following:

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.

LeaseDr.com is a newly launched site that helps to guide entrepreneurs through the rent relief process. A well thought out plan, and the desire to weather this rough economy and emerge 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 your rent.
