Help please :)

Should you already have a lease agreement before going before the planning commission and/or city counsel? Or after? Or does it matter?

[Cliff]

Just went thru that had the fire marshal look at building shot a few of my ideas by him then made the lease conditional to (the building not the design) working for the haunt .

Does that help? Again remember this is my first indoor haunt to so I may not be …. change that AM NOT the best guy to ask!

[Paranormal Fear]

So you told the Leaser (Not sure what you would call him/her) that you would rent it on condition that the fire marshal would approve it?

[Cliff]

yes, no hidden electrical issues, bad sprinkler system, things like that. he was good with it...maybe im lucky

[Paranormal Fear]

I like that idea. What about in regards to getting approval from the City planning commission and City counsel?

[Cliff]

Didn’t mention them individually but under the lease if the building wont pass city codes lease is void. NOTE i may have to change my layout

[Paranormal Fear]

So basically, you told the Leaser that you would rent the place if it would pass inspection. Then once passed, you then plan on bringing it before the City council?

[Cliff]

Yes , but not city inspector,he will be there from beging......what can the city councel do as long as zoning is good??

[Paranormal Fear]

Alright, that makes sense. What about a loan? Would you advise taking out a bank loan before renting, or after the rent agreement has been signed? Thanks for answering my questions.

[Cliff]

ALL the pros say NO LOAN i did cut the owner in At $1.00 a ticket the first year and $.50 the next year.

i will back out here and let someone with more experience speak up
