Commercial Lease Security Deposits
by Stuart Lautin, Esq.
Our Texas Courts rarely give us insight into the interpretation of commercial lease security deposits laws. Until recently. New guidance awaits.
Lease Guaranty v2.0
Faith and True Christian Center, Inc. entered a commercial Lease with USA Real Estate-2, LLC, in which Faith leased space from USA for church activities. The Lease was for five years beginning September 1, 2007. When the Lease was executed the church’s pastor and president, Anthony Harrison and his wife, executed a personal Guaranty along with other persons in leadership positions at the church.
