QUESTION

Mobile Sign in a parking lot

Asked on Nov 07th, 2013 on Business Litigation - Texas
More details to this question:
Article 9 All signs, banners, lettering, placards, decorations and advertising media shall conform in all respects to the sign criteria established by Landlord for the Shopping Center from time to time in the exercise of its sole discretion, and shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord as to construction, method of attachment, size, shape, height, lighting, color and general appearance. Under no circumstances will Tenant be permitted to bring mobile pull-up signs onto the Shopping Center. My Question about the above article is " If I have a Jeep where I placed signs for my store and I parked it in the complex I am leasing, will this article suggest I am violating the rules?" All I see above is mobile signs prohibited, but the question is what is considered as mobile sign. I need your help in that regards.

I assume that you are quoting from a lease under which you or your business are a tenant. I don't know if I can give you a definitive answer, but if it were up to me, I would certainly consider your Jeep with a sign on it parked in the center to be a mobile sign for which you need the landlord's permission.  It just doesn't make sense for that type of sign to be excluded from the clause.  The landlord has just as much of an interest in exercising control over tenants' advertising in their vehicles which are parked in the center as it does in exercising control over any other type of advertising.
