If you've ever signed a 30-page commercial lease, or even a one-page lease for an executive suite, you'll know leases favor the landlord. In most cases, I document transactions with building owners so there can be no mistake about the details of the agreement. The "Very truly yours" complimentary close on this letter suggests that I'm wearing my legal hat. Although I simply sign most letters "Bill," I signed this with my full legal name.
