Lease Modifications: Modifications or Amendments to Existing Cell Tower or Cell Site Leases
In addition to assisting landowners negotiate new cell site leases, Cell Tower Attorney also advises leaseholders when approached by carriers requesting modifications to existing leases. As technology advances and demands on existing networks increase, cell site carriers are frequently seeking to, among other things, increase or change the size of the leased premises, the scope of the permitted use, the number and size of antennas as well as sublease the premises or assign the lease. In response to such requests, our staff has assisted leaseholders in negotiating amendments to existing leases addressing these issues. While some carrier-requested changes to an existing lease may seem straightforward or inconsequential to a leaseholder, they may actually be an opportunity for additional revenue or unknowingly increase a leaseholder’s liabilities or obligations under the lease. Cell Tower Attorney can assist a leaseholder in determining if he or she is being fairly compensated and what additional liabilities, if any, are being created by entering into such an amendment.
Please contact us if we can help you with a modification or amendment to an existing cell tower lease agreement.
