Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal

I don't know much really mate, but:

Getting 3 months rent free is about normal, normally gives you time to do fittings etc... not standered you have to ask but it's not like they are doing anything out of the normal practice overly generous for you.

Make sure you have the right to sub-let for the full term.

Get a get out clause where you can just walk away at 12 months if the business fails.

You can also negotiate the rent down a bit on maintenence agreements, you can agree to take on more or less.

Nothing stopping you fom walking away and if they don't give in... just go back.
How long has the unit been empty not supplying any revenue for the landlord?

See if you can speak to him face to face, say you'd really appreciate being given a break and you'll owe him one or something... try to apeal to his human side (landlords don't normally have human sides though!!!)
