A new comprehensive cooperative apartment sublease drafted by prominent real estate attorneys Adam Leitman Bailey, Leonard Ritz and Dov Treiman of Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C. It may be the best and most comprehensive cooperative sublease ever written.
The authors are among New York's most prominent cooperative and landlord and tenant attorneys. Their writing credits include over 90 books reviewing every major cooperative litigation and eviction case. They have participated in thousands of cooperative apartment law suits and evictions. They now provide corporate counsel to hundreds of buildings city-wide.
This new cooperative apartment sublease form accounts for changes and developments in the law during the last three decades. It better protects and secures property owners' rights and also adapts the lease to current technological changes affecting property owners.
These forms provide lease provisions to facilitate the eviction of tenants who chronically pay rent late, harbor pets illegally or refuse to vacate after the termination of the lease. The form also regulates acceptable noise levels - including musical instruments and sound producing electronic devices; prohibit or regulate smoking; and include measures to decrease the proliferation and spread of mold.
"Blumberg's legal team in conjunction with prominent real estate attorneys from Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C. have put together the most remarkable sublease that will certainly better protect cooperative unit-owning shareholders."

Comprehensive leases for regulated and unregulated apartments in New York and Nationwide, revised and updated by Adam Leitman Bailey & Dov Treiman
These revised leases reflect the concerns of contemporary real estate practice.
Landlords should protect themselves through modern leases to avoid the consequences of various judicial precedents and legislative laws meant to favor tenant, account for the Internet and technological advances and recognize recent developments in the law. Landlords gain rights, time and money using these revised modern leases.
Maximize Income
Landlords make money by collecting rent from tenants and keeping the cost of maintenance and repairs at a minimum. Landlords are best protected from loss of income when the lease sets forth the result of any and all potential conflicts.
These leases give a precise definition in the event of a tenant’s continuous late payment. The chronic non-payment proceeding is treated as a violation of the tenancy. The landlord can look directly to the lease in addition to the judicial precedents. Also, it permits the landlord to terminate the lease before the end date, maximizing income and use of resources.
In addition, landlords can collect greater revenue for extra services their buildings provide, which would be lost without the provisions of these leases. The leases name all monies coming to the landlord as “additional rent” to secure income owed. This allows the landlord to sue and collect the unpaid money in one court and one proceeding. Fees for services such as parking, health club, cleaning, concierge, or chauffeur, will be collectible as additional rent. If a tenant defaults on paying additional rent, the landlord is given the same remedies as if there was a default in payment of rent. These provisions guarantee income owed, and can avoid lengthy court battles.
Delayed Possession
Generally, landlord’s are liable for the difference between market rent and lease rent when unable to deliver possession of the apartment on the start date. However, landlord’s can limit the tenant’s recovery by specifying what conduct on the part of the landlord is excused and by placing a reasonable time period to keep the incoming tenant on the hook. These leases bind the tenant to the lease for at least 90 days before the lease can be considered cancelled. It also relieves landlord of any liability when an apartment is not ready for occupancy at the start date. Other leases relieve the landlord only for reasons beyond the landlord’s reasonable control.
Preserving Building Aesthetics
There is a positive correlation between preserving building aesthetics and maximizing potential income. These lease include provisions that require tenants to keep the building well maintained. It forbids hanging blankets and sheets in windows, restricts use of laundry lines, restricts plants exceeding the load bearing capacity on a terrace, regulates additional locks on apartment doors, restricts use of antennas without written consent, and places responsibility on tenant’s for ordinary maintenance to prevent mold growth.
Noise
These leases help ensure that people live in harmony by placing boundaries on noise producing devices, including musical instruments and electronics. The restrictions specify time of day, days of week, and gross duration of use, ensuring a certain quality of life for all tenants in the building and a lowered likelihood of the landlord having to defend noise claims.
Technology Clauses
To protect the landlord, leases should mention modern technologies. No landlord wants to litigate problems arising from the tenant’s internet connection or interference with a neighbor’s internet connection. These leases exempt the landlord from any interruptions in Internet service that the tenant may suffer. Most leases do not have updated technology clauses.
Deliveries and Security Systems
A lease should clarify the landlord’s responsibilities for secure mail delivery and maintenance of security systems. These leases state that the landlord’s agents are prohibited from receiving any mail or packages exceeding $500. If property is left with the landlord’s agents, it will conclusively have a value of $500 or less (notwithstanding the actual value). This provision limits the financial responsibility of the landlord should a tenant claim any issues with deliveries.
