Typically, the office lease document is a long, complex document, and is prepared by the landlord’s legal counsel. It is useful for a tenant to have an executive summary of the lease to aid in the decision-making process. This analysis should be a simple summary of the lease’s main elements, with comments, and should be placed on top of the lease in the same file for easy reference.
Before renewing, expanding, or deciding to relocate, tenants need to understand their obligations in virtue of their current lease. If renewing, this may be the perfect time to clean up some irritants or limitations. If relocating or exercising options: decision-makers need to know about notices to send and their deadlines.
