Landlord and Tenant Representation

A lease agreement is not a simple instrument. For landlords, the language should be precise and complete to avoid problems and protect the lessor from liability. For tenants, there can be hidden or ambiguous clauses that come back to haunt them later.

Durfee West P.C. represents both landlords and tenants with commercial leasing services. The firm also provides real estate development, investment, business formation and business planning services.

The firm serves lessors and lessees in the greater Denver metro area, Fort Collins, Greeley, Boulder, Colorado Springs, surrounding counties and throughout Colorado.

Amy Durfee West has practiced real estate law in Colorado for over 25 years. She has published dozens of articles on commercial leases and other real estate topics, and has served as president of the Colorado Bar Association's Real Estate Law Section.

Tenant Services

Before you sign a commercial lease, Durfee West P.C. can clarify and/or renegotiate those clauses which are harmful or potentially detrimental to the tenant so that you can "go in with your eyes open."
