Ensure that there is compliance with all the associated laws, regulations, and zoning requirements that specifically pertain to the utilization of the Premises. These components must be adhered to in order to meet the legal standards set forth by local, state, or national authorities. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in penalties or legal action, thus underlining the necessity for strict adherence to these requirements.
An obligation for the protection of the interests of both parties should be enacted.

Our role is to act as a mediator in order to facilitate an atmosphere of effective communication and cooperation between the parties involved.
