Leasing your property
Leasing your property for purposes of Outdoor advertising signs is very similar to leasing any commercial property or office space. The terms are similar and are easily adapted for signage purposes.
Leasing your property for a Wallscape or a billboard requires no investment from the property owner. Where a permit needs to be acquired, A lease arrangement is crucial for new development locations.
In the case with grandfathered billboards is the only time we may consider a easement purchase, rather than a lease. The circumstances have to be taken into account when comparing the possibility of a lease or easement.
A Sign Lease or Billboard lease is simple in nature and a sign will always be your best tenant, because signs dont need water or plumbing, a sign does not require heating of any kind, there is no hazardous material, and all electics and lights are always seperately metered - so a sign tenant is all profit with no investment. Plus signs actually add to the safety of the neighborhood through the illumination of the sign.
The fixtures used for the sign are "Trade Fixtures" just like a normal commercial tenant, and as such are the property of the tenant until after the lease has expired.
