Nevada & Las Vegas Commercial Lease Lockout (NRS 118C.200) & Rooftop HVAC Redline Auditor
Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118C (NRS 118C.200) governs commercial lockouts and personal property disposal, while Las Vegas and Henderson retail/industrial leases routinely shift 100% of desert rooftop HVAC replacement ($18,000–$35,000 per unit) onto the tenant and allow immediate rent acceleration upon default.
Retail Tenant Billed $38,400 to Replace Landlord’s 19-Year-Old Rooftop HVAC Unit in Month 7
A medical spa signed a 5-year NNN lease accepting the premises "AS-IS" with full responsibility to "maintain, repair, and replace HVAC systems." Seven months after opening, the 19-year-old rooftop compressor died and the landlord forced the tenant to pay $38,400 for a brand-new 20-year unit the landlord kept.
RedlineCore™ flags "replace" and "AS-IS" HVAC language, shifting capital replacements to Landlord (or capping Tenant HVAC exposure at $1,500–$2,500/year with 15-year GAAP amortization).

When you buy a franchise (fast-casual restaurant, fitness studio, home services, medspa, childcare), the Franchisor’s standard 10-year Franchise Agreement contains a devastating double trap if your unit loses money and you have to close the doors: (1) a "Future Royalty Liquidated Damages" clause requiring you to pay 3 to 10 years of future royalties and ad-fund fees for a closed store; and (2) an Unlimited Personal Guaranty (often demanding your spouse’s signature too) so the Franchisor can put a lien on your family home to collect those future un-earned royalties.
Franchise Territory Encroachment & Captive Supplier Markup Playbook
Franchise Agreements boldly promise a "Protected Territory," but three sentences later carve out every modern channel: the Franchisor reserves the right to sell the exact same products inside your zip code via ghost kitchens, delivery apps (DoorDash/UberEats), grocery/retail channels, e-commerce, and "sister brands" acquired by the Franchisor’s private-equity parent. Simultaneously, the Mandatory Approved Supplier clause forces you to buy ingredients, equipment, and POS software from Franchisor-affiliated vendors at a 20%–35% markup with undisclosed kickback rebates paid to the Franchisor.
Commercial Lease CAM & NNN Escalation Clause Auditor
In standard landlord-drafted Triple-Net (NNN) leases, the definition of "Operating Expenses" or "CAM" is written as a blank check. Without an explicit annual cap and capital expenditure exclusions, the landlord can replace the entire building roof or resurface the parking lot in Year 3 and force you to pay for it.
Commercial Lease Personal Guarantee & "Good Guy" Burn-Down Auditor
Signing an unlimited, unconditional Personal Guarantee pierces your LLC or corporate veil completely. If your business closes in Year 2 of a 5-year lease, the landlord can pursue your personal home, bank accounts, and spouse’s assets for the remaining 3 years of accelerated rent plus legal fees.
