Although I am not a lawyer and you should consult one for piece of mind as previously stated.AR Dave wrote:Well we're still going forward - got signature from owner (incarcerated), found proof that he owned the LLC listed as owner of property, sent a few thousand to the state for back taxes so that the Hangar is cleared to come back to local court, where I'll pay the last two years. Should be cleared to sell at that point.
Now I've got to deal with the always-thinking Airport Manager. He's a great guy, but just tinkers and tries to redesign stuff all the time. There are about 8 yrs expired on a 25 yr lease, 10 yr option. So he's come up with this idea that we can start the lease fresh but adjust for inflation (means doubling the lease payment) and then adjust it every 3 yrs or something. He's tried to double the lease amount on several others (not sure circumstance), but they've been able to show he can't do that. So he's baiting me with the fresh lease lure. I'm going to tell him no thanks - I'll just continue with the lease as is.
Can he force me to re-do the terms of the lease, of the property, that the building I'm buying is sitting on?
How do you change the name on that lease?
Like I said he's a great guy, but new to airport managing and figuring it out as he goes. He's trying to make the airport profitable. No leases have came full term at our airport yet.
As much as I hate having to use lawyers, this is good advice. It could save you a lot of hassle down the road.canav8 wrote: Although I am not a lawyer and you should consult one for piece of mind.
First you will need to consult the current lease that you trying to assume. Look for language that allows the transfer of right title interest to another. Some city and county real estate departments have got wise to the sale of hangars at airports and are now restricting its transfer under certain terms. BE CAREFUL!
