Commericial lease didn’t include one of the tenant improvements we had a verbal agreement about. What to do?
Question : Commericial lease didn’t include one of the tenant improvements we had a verbal agreement about. What to do?
After going back and forth about a commercial lease (including with a lease coach) I now realize that one of the major improvements that we agreed to (putting up a wall to create a third office) is not on in the lease. We discussed this improvement in detail and he agreed to it. I already signed the lease and gave a deposit. Do I have any recourse? The office space is in Los Angeles County if that helps.
thanks!

You need to get an addendum to the lease. Make sure you get this in writing as I am sure there is something stated in the lease that verbal agreements are not binding
Point this out to the landlord that it was omitted. If they are honest they will be able to attach an addendum or amendment to the lease to correct the oversight. In the meantime see if you have any emails or ANYTHING in writing, so that you can document that the improvement was discussed and/or agreed to. Good luck!
