Our restaurant is in a plaza and we have two signs. One on a communal sign board with other tenants. The one in reference to is a stand alone 15~20 foot pole electrical light sign. The sign has been out of comission for a while now, and the landlord wants us to fix it with our own money. But figuring we pay rent + cam, I thought it was included with it's maintanence. Please help because I know zero about real property laws and do not want to be fandangled any more!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you

From what you have stated was it ther BEFORE you lessed the building?? if so he is responsable for making sure it is working (stand alone) but once you place a sign on it it it will be your responsabilty..check with your lawyer first..he/she should be able to tell you
If you put a sign on your building for your business your are responsable for upkeep of it

You need to read Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and Alterations).

If that's a part of the contract that you posted, it tells you over and over that it's the tenants responsibility.

Bottom line.
If it's advertises your business it's your problem to fix and maintain
