Base rent is the core amount due for occupying the space, typically stated as a monthly figure. It is often subject to adjustments, surcharges, or escalations over the term of the lease. Understanding how base rent interacts with operating expenses helps you compare total occupancy costs across options. In our review, we highlight any potential increases and propose strategies to manage them.

Before signing, review all financial terms, maintenance obligations, assignment rights, and termination provisions. We also verify that any concessions or TI allowances are documented and that the lease aligns with your long-term plans.
