Am trying to buy a fellow EAA member's hangar. Picked up the new lease agreement offered by the county. The county is the "lessor." It includes this clause:
22. MODIFICATIONS OR TERMINATION: Lessee and Lessor agree that Lessor may, at Lessor's sole discretion, modify the terms of this lease in whole or in part, including but not limited to any term or condition of this lease, including cancelling the unexpired portion of this lease and re-letting the property to another tenant, in the event that any regulation governing airports or county property is amended in a way that impacts the Lessor's ability to lease, use, control, protect, or maintain the Property. For the purpose of this section, "regulation" is defined to include, but is not limited to: case law interpreting any rule or regulation; any federal rules and regulations, including Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations; state rules and regulations; and local rules, regulations, and ordinances.
In the event that Lessor shall elect to modify or terminate this lease, Lessor shall do so only upon one hundred twenty (120) days written notice, notifying Lessee, at Lessee's address of record, that the lease to which this applied is being so modified or terminated.
Am I right to be concerned about plunking down a lot of money for a hangar that, if I read this right, could be stripped away if the county decided it wanted to plant more grass?
