A lease agreements lawyer in Toronto helps landlords, tenants, and commercial parties put rental terms into a document that reflects their arrangement. Legal review is useful before signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or accepting amendments that change rent, repairs, use, or termination rights.
Our lawyers review the proposed lease, schedules, notices, and supporting documents. We identify terms that need clarification, consider applicable Ontario rules, and draft revisions or a tailored agreement where appropriate. John Zinati leads the firm and brings real estate law experience to this work.
Every lease and property differs. Speak directly with a lawyer about your circumstances, receive a clear quote, and decide whether legal review is right for you.
Posted on Google Jace Armstrong As first-time home buyers, we had an excellent experience working with Zinati Kay on our recent purchase.

Karen was especially helpful in keeping things organized and ensuring nothing was missed, while Leroy gave us confidence that all legal aspects were handled properly.

For residential purchases, sales, mortgage refinancing, and title transfers, our fixed closing cost is $999* + tax. It excludes land transfer tax, government registration fees, and disbursements. That closing fee does not apply to lease drafting or review, because lease work depends on the document and issues involved. We provide a quote for lease services before you commit.
Nothing is payable until closing for qualifying closing transactions. Lease matters are quoted separately so the scope is clear. For more than 25 years, we have served Toronto and Ontario real estate clients with lawyer-led guidance and practical document work.

You speak directly with a lawyer when you book because the person reviewing your lease should understand the property, parties, and terms from the start. That direct discussion helps identify whether a residential form, commercial agreement, or amendment needs tailored attention.
Our team reads the lease alongside its schedules, offers, and proposed clauses because obligations can appear outside the main agreement. We flag unclear rent, repair, insurance, use, renewal, and termination language for discussion before the parties sign.
We have closed over 25,000 real estate deals without a title claim because property work requires disciplined review of documents and risks. That experience informs lease work where premises descriptions, permitted uses, access rights, and ownership details matter.
Clients have given the firm a 4.9/5 rating from 340+ reviews because they value clear communication and practical legal help. Our four lawyers and seven law clerks support organized work while your legal questions remain with a lawyer.
We review residential tenancy agreements, addenda, and proposed changes for terms that may need clarification or adjustment. The work can address rent wording, services, maintenance responsibilities, rules, notices, deposits, and provisions affected by Ontario residential tenancy law.
We draft or review commercial leases for office, retail, industrial, and other business premises. Review may cover the permitted use, term, renewal options, rent structure, operating costs, repairs, insurance, indemnities, assignment, subletting, and default provisions.
We prepare or review amendments when parties change the term, rent, premises, services, guarantors, or other obligations. A written amendment helps show what changed and whether earlier lease provisions continue, which can reduce uncertainty later.
We review proposed assignments and subleases where a tenant wants another party to take over or occupy the premises. The documents should address consent, continuing liability, use restrictions, security, and the relationship between the original lease and new arrangement.

You speak with a lawyer about the property, the parties, and your immediate concern. We confirm whether the matter involves a residential or commercial lease, identify the documents needed, and explain the proposed scope before work begins.
We review the lease, schedules, prior agreements, correspondence, and property information. A lease agreements lawyer in Toronto compares the terms with the arrangement you describe and notes provisions requiring clarification, revision, or further instructions.
Our team considers the applicable legal framework and practical property issues. This may include reviewing use restrictions, required consents, building rules, ownership information, or local requirements that affect the proposed arrangement and the parties' responsibilities.
We prepare revisions, a new agreement, or comments for negotiation, then explain the final version before signing. Remote signing may be available across Ontario where the documents and circumstances permit, so parties can complete the process from different locations.
After execution, we provide the finalized documents and explain any next steps identified in the scope. If an issue later arises, a lawyer can review the lease and correspondence to discuss available options based on the facts then known.
