Lease/Permanent Easement

Frank:

I have a billboard with a long term lease and it’s a straight revenue share. I have good relationship with the owner and he intends to sell the property which has a mortgage. The owner is willing to do whatever is most advantageous for me prior to selling. In your opinion what should I do prior to the sale of the property to make my terms even more advantageous? Let me know, thanks.

Take out any “cancellation” provision, and extend the lease to as many years as you possibly can.

Thanks so as opposed to a permanent easement just make the lease 99 years. I just thought if I could get the easement for a reasonable amount of money it would make more sense and therefore I would have to no longer pay ground rent. Let me know, thanks.
