Tenants should review more than the monthly base rent. Important lease considerations may include:

  • Lease term
  • Renewal options
  • Rent increases
  • Operating expenses
  • Property taxes
  • Insurance charges
  • Common-area maintenance
  • Repairs and maintenance
  • Utilities
  • Tenant improvements
  • Signage
  • Parking
  • Permitted use
  • Assignment and subleasing
  • Personal guarantees
  • Insurance requirements
  • Restoration obligations
  • Default provisions

A commercial lease should be reviewed by an attorney before it is signed.
