Your commercial lease is coming up for renewal. Have you read it lately?

For a Heber Valley business owner, renewing a lease can feel routine. You’ve been in the same space for years, your landlord knows you, and everyone expects the business to stay.

But the renewal is worth a closer look.

Does the lease give you a right to renew, or does the landlord have to agree? How will the new rent be determined? Are you responsible for building repairs or other expenses that have increased since you signed?

And importantly, does the lease require written notice months before the current term ends?

These are much easier questions to address before a renewal deadline passes.

At Gordon Law Group, we help local business owners review commercial leases, negotiate terms, and plan for what comes next.

Good legal advice is not just about the document in front of you. It should account for the people involved and what happens after the immediate decision.

We appreciated this note from Sara McAffee:

“They have given great advice with the best interests of all involved at the heart of their opinion and work.”

That balance matters to us. If you have a legal question, call Gordon Law Group at 435.657.0984.

Before you list the cabin for ski season, check more than the nightly rate.

Heber City uses a specific nightly-rental application, and the rules can turn on the property itself. Confirm the requirements for that address. Then read the HOA documents, check the insurance coverage, and make a plan for parking, noise, snow removal, and after-hours calls.

If the paperwork and the rental plan do not match, it is easier to sort that out before the first booking.

Base rent gets most of the attention. It should not get all of it.

A commercial lease also determines who pays for repairs, how operating expenses are calculated, whether the lease can be assigned or subleased, what happens at renewal, and whether an owner has agreed to personal liability.

Our article walks Utah landlords and tenants through the terms worth addressing before a lease is signed or renewed:

If the written lease does not match the business deal, it is better to find out before the signatures go on.

A criminal case may be closed, but the record can still follow you when you apply for a job or housing, even if the charges were dismissed. Utah law allows many qualifying records to be expunged, which generally limits public access to them.

Some records qualify for automatic expungement, while others require an application to the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification and a petition to the court. Eligibility depends on your full criminal history, the type of offense, and how much time has passed. Waiting periods vary widely, from three years for a class C misdemeanor to ten years for certain misdemeanor DUI convictions.

Expungement does not erase every trace of a case. A news article may still appear online, and outdated background-check information may need to be disputed separately. Getting the process right the first time matters, since an incomplete application or an expired certificate can cost you time and money.

Legal issues rarely arrive one at a time. A real estate question can affect a business. A family transition can change an estate plan. Ownership, contracts, property rights, and long-term planning often overlap.

Gordon Law Group was founded to give Heber Valley clients access to full-service legal counsel close to home—especially when a problem does not fit neatly into one practice area.
