Cell Phone Tower Leases

Many cell phone companies rely on cell phone towers to expand their network in various locations. In most cases, these towers are installed on private property and the property owners must sign cell phone tower leases giving the cell phone company permission to install a tower on their property.

If you are a property owner who has been approached by a cell phone company wanting to install a tower on your land, you should review the lease carefully. The lease should specify exactly what type of cell tower is being installed and how long it will remain on the property. The lease should also set out the payment amount that the property owner will receive and that the cell phone company will be responsible for the cost of any tower repairs. It is a good idea to have the lease reviewed by an attorney before signing it.
