Description: It is a common play in real estate to create a separate operating entity to serve as a tenant and execute a lease between the owner of the property and himself. Typically, this happens in assets which serve as a real estate-based business, such as a retail property. The structured enables the operator to reduce the taxable income of the business and also provide a liability shield for the property owner.
This arrangement can lead to some ethical issues should the property owner become distressed. For example, is the lease amount above market and therefore being used to inflate the property valuation? Is rent actually being paid? Is there a proper lease in place or just an internal handshake? Attorneys need to understand the set-up in order to know what is in bounds and what is outside the lines.

Real estate-based bankruptcies are some of the most common matters filed. As an attorney, you are your client’s advocate and need to navigate the waters to provide effective counsel while playing within rules. In this series we tackle some common ethical scenarios that present themselves in real estate-focused bankruptcies frequently, including matters related to valuing assets, insider lease agreements, and a Single Asset Real Estate (SARE) cases. At the end you will be better equipped to answer questions like Is your client being astute or asinine? This this scheme clever or cagey? Under the rules of bankruptcy, is an inside arrangement shady or shrewd?
