Are you buying or building a family practice in Ontario?

If so, it’s important to take certain factors into consideration like accessibility for your patients, demographics in the neighbourhood, the right neighbours, and a properly structured office lease agreement. Any doctor opening a family practice will have to find the ideal location, and eventually make their way through a medical office lease negotiation with their new landlord. Leases are filled with complicated terms and clauses that determine how well your practice will be protected over the coming years. It is advised to seek professional help before entering into a lease negotiation to ensure your lease is set up properly and is free of risks.

Opening a Medical Practice: Important Lease Considerations

  • Who is guaranteeing your lease? You, or your incorporated entity?

  • Is the lease set up to allow you to bring in associates? Is it structured to facilitate a smooth and profitable practice sale, down the line?

  • Does the landlord have the right to relocate your clinic, at anytime, at your expense?

  • Can the landlord terminate your lease, and kick you out of the building with 30 days’ notice?
