9. Do I need to check the lease myself or can I leave it to my lawyer?

You should check the lease yourself. Even if you have briefed your lawyer properly, reading the lease might point up practical issues of which your lawyer is not aware, or help to clarify your own thoughts on what you want.

By asking your lawyer to explain any parts of the lease which you do not understand, you will also ensure that you have a clear understanding of the rights and obligations which you will be agreeing.
