This committee consists of attorneys interested primarily in commercial leasing and landlord/tenant law. We intend to discuss issues relating to office industrial and retail leases. The committee membership consists of sole practitioners, lawyers from law firms of all sizes and, in-house counsel of real estate developers and major retailers. The committee annually contributes at least one article to the Michigan Real Property Review as well as significant programs to both Homeward Bound and ICLE.

Each fall and spring meeting is focused on at least one particular topic of current interest. Examples of past topics include insurance issues, SNDA agreements and estoppels, the res judicata effect of landlord/tenant court decisions, and the liability of landlords, tenants, and management companies for the criminal acts of others.
