Services / Loss of Rents & Business Interruption

When the Property Problem Becomes an Income Problem.

We help owners document and pursue rental-income, business-interruption, delay, and operational losses tied to serious property disputes.

Contingency representation. No fee unless we recover money for you.

Common Revenue-Loss Pressure Points

Lost Rental Income

Rent roll, vacancy assumptions, concessions, and tenant disruption need to be documented before they are minimized.

Operational Downtime

Period-of-restoration fights, occupancy assumptions, lease turnover, and mitigation narratives can change claim value.

Documentation / Causation Problems

The revenue story needs to connect the property event, repair timeline, tenant impact, and dollars lost.

Our Approach

We Build the Revenue Story Before It Gets Minimized.

Revenue-loss claims are strongest when the economics, restoration path, tenant story, and claim strategy are built together.

  • Map the rent roll, lease obligations, and occupancy assumptions
  • Build a credible period-of-restoration and downtime record
  • Connect physical damage, repair sequence, and revenue loss
  • Coordinate financial, accounting, insurance, and construction proof
  • Present the claim in a way decision-makers can understand and value

Contingency Representation

Aligned with recovery — not hourly billing.

When a property loss is already expensive, hourly legal spend can become another pressure point. Burnside Property & Project Claims handles accepted matters on a contingency basis. In plain terms, there is no fee unless we recover money for you.

No fee unless we recover money for you.
The fee is tied to recovery.
Built for serious disputes where the amount at stake justifies legal pressure.
Owners can pursue recovery without adding traditional hourly litigation spend to an already expensive problem.
Accepted matters receive focused recovery strategy, documentation review, and dispute presentation.

What We Review

We Review the Records That Explain the Income Loss.

Lost rent and business interruption often depend on the fine-grained property facts that generic damages models miss.

Rent Roll & Leases

We review leases, concessions, renewals, vacancies, and tenant disruption.

Restoration Timeline

We connect downtime to repair sequencing, access, mitigation, and return-to-use facts.

Business Interruption

We evaluate operating displacement and income loss tied to the covered event or project delay.

Financial Records

We look at historical performance, budgets, forecasts, and documentation of actual impact.

Insurance & Contractor Overlap

We identify where property damage, repair sequencing, contractor responsibility, and insurance recovery intersect.

Causation & Proof

We build the factual connection between the event, downtime, tenant impact, and recovery sought.

Representative Results

Revenue losses tied to real property disruption.

Representative matters only. Every case depends on its own facts, evidence, timing, coverage, contracts, and applicable law. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

$6M

Apartment-building loss

Structural repair and stabilization issues included rent-loss and collateral-repair pressure.

$7M

Multifamily project dispute

Delay and lost rental income were part of the recovery picture.

Revenue

Claim strategy

The rent-loss story gets built before it is reduced to generic downtime language.
