What are the health risks of having a cell phone tower on my property? Any sensible person will, obviously, ask this question if he or she plans on leasing space to a cell phone tower company. However, conducting a random search on the Internet and simply believing the first page you happen to land on is not a very smart thing to do.
Instead, the simplest and most effective option is to simply ask the tower company to clarify all your queries and doubts about cell phone radiation and potential health risks associated with having a tower on you property.
Do you feel that asking the tower company to clarify this point may be akin to asking the barber if you need a shave? Well, simply accepting their verbal assurance may not be very sensible. However, what if you ask them to provide their answers in writing and refer to this written information in the contract that you finalize with the company?
Now, this would be similar to placing your barber under a legal obligation to speak the truth when you ask him whether you need a shave. The fact that you are finalizing the contract based on the radiation information provided by the company will make it an integral part of the contract.
This means you can seek hefty damages if it is proved that you were provided wrong or misleading information at the time of finalization of the lease. Now, completing all these formalities and ensuring that you have a watertight contract may be easier said than done. This is why you should seriously consider hiring an expert to guide you through the process of leasing your property for setting up a cell phone tower.
How to frame your questions? How to analyse the answers to determine whether the query has been clarified or not? How to draft the reference to the written replies when creating the contract? These questions may seem very simple but doing even one of these processes wrong may result in numerous complications at a later date.
So, don’t make the mistake of thinking that the lease can be finalized as a DIY affair. If you do so, then chances are high that the tower company will end gaining more out of the contract. From the rent to be charged to creating precise contracts defining all aspects and facets of the deal—having an expert by your side will help you proceed without any fear of losing out over the long run. The price you pay for such a service will be insignificant as compared to the fantastic that you will enjoy.
