Commercial lease negotiation is the process of clarifying and agreeing on rent, term length, renewal rights, assignment permissions, and responsibility for expenses and repairs in a commercial space.
Key elements include base rent, operating expenses, CAM charges, maintenance duties, build-out rights, options to renew or expand, and dispute resolution mechanisms. We manage the drafting, redlines, and coordination with all parties.
Common terms you’ll see and what they mean in plain language.
The fixed monthly amount paid for occupying the space, usually subject to periodic increases.

Additional costs allocated to tenants for shared spaces, included in the operating expenses with specific caps and pass-through details.
Permissions to transfer lease rights to another party, subject to landlord consent and conditions.
