[RPPTL LandTen] Arbitration Clauses in Commercial Lease?

[Greg Hass]

I agree - I think a mandatory binding arbitration clause would be a
terrible idea from a commercial LL's perspective where the T has
possession and your goal is to get them evicted ASAP.

A prospective client (out of state commercial office building owner) has
asked me to review and comment on the form of lease used for its Florida
buildings. 

 

The Lease has a pretty normal looking default and remedies clause.  It
also has an arbitration clause, saying that disputes are to be resolved
through AAA arbitration.  

 

What do you guys this about this (I'm not disclosing my personal bias,
but those of you that know me probably know my take on this)?

 

Thanks for your comments.
