Rental Contracts

“We like to refer clients who need rental contracts to James Waite because he really knows the rental industry.“

Phil Kelling-President and CEO, ARA Insurance Services, Inc.

“Having a rental contract that covers "our" specific equipment and party inventory written by an experienced "equipment and party" lawyer - gives a peace of mind we could not have gotten from anyone else. Also in both collections and court issues, our contracts back up our position for a favorable outcome for us.“

Brian Grant - Owner and Operator, Grants Rentals, Bridgewater, MA

“Waite LLC´s work at upgrading my rental contract went very well. I´m glad it´s done and glad I hired Waite to do it! The approach was thorough but did not drag on forever like I was expecting it to. Now I´m confident I´m as prepared as I can be for any situation.“

Philip A Cerminaro - Owner, Industrial Products Limited, New Orleans, LA

“I wanted to take a moment to say “Thank You“ to Mr. Waite´s wonderful TEAM of professionals! Going into the Rental Business is certainly a trying endeavor. Without your knowledge and expertise I wouldn't be as comfortable as I am today that our new rental business will be covered in the event of any legal issues. Working with Mr. Waite was such a pleasure. He patiently answered all of my questions for over an hour to make sure I thoroughly understood all the aspects of our new rental contracts and how each clause would cover us in the event of any legal problems. You've definitely won a long term client with your professionalism, knowledge & efficiency!“
