This glossary explains common terms you will encounter in commercial lease negotiations for Vista and beyond.
Base rent is the fixed monthly amount due to the landlord for use of the space, separate from operating expenses.
Operating expenses cover costs the tenant pays as part of the lease, and CAM charges cover maintenance and common area costs.
TI refers to money or credits provided by the landlord to customize the space for the tenant’s needs.
Escalation clauses adjust rent over time, and renewal options extend occupancy terms under agreed conditions.
Tenants and landlords may choose direct negotiation, use standardized lease forms, or work with counsel to tailor terms.
For straightforward spaces and short terms, essential terms can be resolved quickly with minimal review.
